One of my favorite things about these cookies is how easy they are. Mixed in one bowl, only a handful of ingredients, and ready in less than a half an hour. The coconut toasts in the oven as they cook. If you like extra toasted coconut then leave them in the whole 18 minutes – they brown so nicely and the flavor is amazing! After they were done baking, I felt like they were still missing something and chocolate was definitely the answer.  You can drizzle it over the cookies or do a whole layer on them, it just depends how how much you love chocolate.

These are naturally gluten free and the Golden Barrel Coconut Oil keeps them dairy free as well. Just make sure to use dairy free chocolate chips if necessary.

I made these a few times before I got them perfect. The problem I was having was with them falling apart. One thing I learned in the process is to squeeze each ball of dough in your hand to really pack it tight, then form it into a ball. This helps it stay in a cookie and not become coconut granola. 🙂

It’s important to use room temperature eggs because if the cold eggs hit the coconut oil, it will harden. You can leave them out overnight, or place them in a bowl of hot water for 5 minutes and they will come to room temperature. That’s one of my favorite tricks.

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350° and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine coconut oil, brown sugar, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add the oats, coconut, and salt. Stir until mixture is fully combined.
  4. Using a cookie scoop, scoop the dough and then place between your palms and squeeze the mixture together. This helps hold the cookie together and not fall apart.
  5. Shape into a ball and place on the cookie sheet. Press down just slightly so they are flat on the top.
  6. Continue with the rest of the dough until all the cookies are formed. They can all fit on one pan since they don’t spread when baked.
  7. Bake for 16-18 minutes or until lightly brown.
  8. Once cool, melt the chocolate and drizzle or pour over all the cookies.

  3. Thank you for this recipe! Delish and very quick to make. I used butter instead of coconut oil because I didn’t have any. I also put the chips directly into the batter. These are just so good!!!

    1. You are welcome!! Thanks for letting me know the changes and thank you for trying them! Glad you like them!

    These are not dairy free if you use eggs!

    1. Hi Jamie- eggs are actually not dairy. Dairy is milk, butter, yogurt, etc. People with dairy allergies can have eggs with no issues.

      Eggs don’t even come from a milk-producing animal…

      1. Exactly, Elle! 🙂

  5. They look amazing! I’m a celiac so always looking for Gf recepies but also have to watch sugar intake and calorie’s. Do you have a cal. break down, would appreciate it, thanks laura

    1. Hi Laura- I usually don’t calculate that since we don’t count calories, but since you asked so nice I figured it out. They are 144 calories each including the chocolate chips. You could reduce the sugar by using unsweetened coconut and dark chocolate. I hope that helps 🙂

  6. Bonnie says:

    Curious, if I’m using unsweetened coconut will that affect the recipient?

    1. Hi Bonnie- using unsweetened coconut will make them much less sweet. Maybe use a mixture of the two? I wouldn’t want you to waste all those ingredients on cookies that didn’t taste good. 🙂
