Delicious Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies are a great twist on Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies. The coconut adds in a great flavor.
Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
Day 6 of our 25 days of Holiday Cookies and Treats brings this amazing Coconut and Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe!
I am not sure why it took me 37 years to think of putting coconut in my chocolate chip cookies but it did. I have to tell you I am hooked on these cookies.
The coconut adds just the right extra flavor to take these chocolate chip cookies over the top. HELLO YUM!!!! Seriously multiple exclamations marks YUM!
Do you add any other flavors to your chocolate chip cookies? Please share! I keep thinking about all of the add-ins I can put in our chocolate chip cookies and so far they all sound scrumptious.
Ok, maybe not all of them. Sometimes my brain goes in random directions and I think of all the weird things you could add to cookies and some of them are just not right. I mean can you imagine lima beans, pea or carrots in cookies.
Oh wait I already added carrots to our Carrot Cake Oatmeal cookies so I guess that combo works 🙂
Ingredients
- Butter
- Sugar
- Egg
- All-purpose flour
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Semisweet chocolate chips
- Flaked coconut
Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.
Cookie Scoop - A cookie scoop makes it so easy to get consistent cookies that all look great together.
Parchment Paper - I am a huge fan of using parchment paper to make clean up and serving so much easier.
Baking Sheet - I like to use baking sheets with sides so there is no way I can be clumsy and have the cookies slide right off into the oven {not that I want to admit that it has happened but I did learn my lesson.}
Heat resistant potholders - A couple of years ago we had a fire scare when we didn't realize we had turned a burner on and a cloth potholder caught fire. Thankfully we walked by the kitchen and saw the smoke and were able to get it out ourselves. Since then we have only used these heat-resistant potholders.
Make sure to check back each morning for a new holiday cookie and treat recipe! We have a big list of easy classic cookies.

Turned out amazing! Baked them at the recommended temp of 375 for 11 minutes and they are perfectly chewy! I lined my baking sheet with parchment paper and greased the paper as well. They didn't stick and saved me some dishes. Highly recommend this recipe.

My cookies came out completely flat and crunchy. They stuck to my sheet pan so bad that I ruined most of them trying to get them off. I followed the recipe exactly..so im not too sure what happened.
Helen
The cookies came out crunchy even at the minimum time and were kind of tasteless. Maybe using only white sugar and no brown sugar makes a big difference in texture and taste. Next time I'll try using brown sugar and see if there's a difference.

How many cookies does this recipe make?
