I just made a batch of these and LOVE them! I really appreciate the fact that they are a one bowl baked good! Less clean up is always great. I cut the sugar a bit (only used 2T white sugar) and used half whole wheat flour. I also sprinkled them with a little bit of sea salt right before putting them in the oven- I think it adds a nice contrast. This recipe is one for the books!

very interesting question…hmmmm…I would probably increase the oatmeal and the flour both by some, there definitely is a lot of coconut in there that makes up a good bulk of the cookie. that said, probably don’t have to increase the oats TOO much…if you do experiment, let me know how it goes!

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are my FAVORITE! However, I’m not a coconut fan. If I leave the coconut out should I increase the oats or simply just leave it out?

Thanks!

Coconut, oatmeal, chocolate and cookie all sounds perfect together! Yum, I look forward to making these, thanks.

Whoa, these look gooood! Will definately make them… And, about the dark edges: that’s what makes them look so pretty! Don’t try to “solve” the problem!

it’s on the “sweet things” recipe page, but I’ll just post in the comment here!

CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COCONUT COOKIES,
AKA “THE PERFECT COOKIE”
Source: Mystery Woman Barbara Boczany, although I’ve changed it a bit, so me too!
- 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 C brown sugar, packed
- 6 T sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 t salt
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 1 C flour
- 2 1/4 C oats
- 1 1/2 C coconut
- 12 oz semi-sweet mini chocolate chips (2 cups)

Preheat oven to 350 F. Beat butter and sugars at high speed until fluffy. Add eggs and beat till blended. Beat in vanilla, baking soda, and salt. Add flour and mix at low speed until blended. Stir in oats, coconut and chocolate.

Arrange 1/4 cup mounds about 3 inches apart on large buttered baking sheets. Pat down to 1/2 inch. Bake in upper oven, rotating occasionally, 15-18 mins. Cool one minute. Transfer to cooling rack. For smaller cookies, adjust baking time…but they are great when they’re BIG.
