Cupcakes have been taking over my life. Usually they just take over the kitchen, but in my new apartment at college, the best lighting is in my room, so now they have taken over my bedroom too! Lizzy vs. Cupcakes….It really brings a whole new meaning to Cupcake Wars.

I’m so glad you posted this! I’ve been looking for a good recipes for Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies. So fun you are at BYU! I graduated from BYU in ’08 and I miss those days!
OK. So why melt the butter? What does this do for the recipe? Just wondering. I am always trying to understand the science behind the baking. I think your recipes are fanstastic. Thank you so much for sharing. Thanks
I made these (twice in a row – they were gobbled up so fast) and they were so delicious! the second time I made them I used coconut oil in place of the butter and they were amazing! I eliminated the nuts, to make them ‘school friendly’ and used 1 cup whole wheat flour & 1 cup white. Thanks for a great ‘keeper’ recipe!! Awesome site! 🙂
Hi,
I just found this recipe and saw your comment about using
coconut oil in place of butter. Did you use 1 cup of coconut oil? I just bought the C oil for the first time yesterday but not really sure how to use it. I just love coconut!
Super excited to try these!

Great ideas to make these cookies even healthier! I’m always looking for ways to make treats more healthful.
I didn’t care for the cinnamon, but this is just a matter of personal preference. The extra flavor distracted from the coconut and chocolate for me. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this cookie. Great texture!
My daughter doesn’t like oatmeal or coconut, but when I make these the entire family devours them in 5 mins, these are our new household favorite
Did you use fresh coconuts or dessicated one?
making these for the second time this month!! a new fav!
I made these and then I skipped eating dinner because I only had an appetite for these cookies. I added white chocolate chips as well. Seriously, some of the best cookies I’ve ever had.
These are the best cookies I have made in a very long time. They were a bit hit with my college age sons and my husband. Thanks!
Yeah, I love them! They are hearty but still feel like a treat
Just made these – I’ve been looking for a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie that doesn’t go all flat….and these are FANTASTIC. I made them just as written, coconut and all. I don’t, however, use the icky stuff from the grocery store. A really nice mild coconut flavor – and in a wonderful cookie base. Great recipe!!
Thanks for the recipe! I cannot wait to try these. Also, I’m pretty sure we were in the same freshman ward here at the Y. I’m so glad that I found your blog!
Do you use sweetened & shredded coconut or all-natural unsweetened coconut flakes?
I use the sweetened and shredded because they tend to be much easier to find.
🙂 THANKS!
These cookies were amazing! I couldn’t find extra dark chocolate but they were delicious just with the regular dark chocolate. I use unsweetened coconut and they were Yumoo
My husband and I loved these cookies! What I really loved about them is that they cleaned out my pantry. I have been needing to use the coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips, dark and milk, that have been in there for a bit of time. Thanks for creating such delicious cookies with so many flavors that play well together.
Made these tonight with my 7 year old daughter..we had a blast and they tasted absolutely AMAZING!!!! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe! Definitely will pin this one 🙂
Oh good! Momma daughter baking is always the best!
This cracker chocolate is my favorite one.. I love it!!
i,ve never made better cookies!!! brilliant recipe, they´re so amazing! i used white an dark chocolate..
can i use this special method for baking cookies (melting butter, add the eggs in 1 minute….) for all cookie recipes or only for this recipe?
thanks from germany
