Oatmeal Coconut Cookies
Oh, how I love Oatmeal Cookies. I love them in many different forms, but adding coconut is one of my favorite ways to enjoy oatmeal cookies.
These Black and White Coconut Cookies are loaded with white chocolate, dark chocolate, and a good amount of coconut too.
And don’t forget about these Coconut Lover’s Oatmeal Cookies – they are the ultimate cookie for any coconut lover. Made with coconut oil, these cookies also happen to be dairy-free, which means they’re a frequently made treat whenever I’m hosting dairy-free friends.
Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies
Chewy Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies are always delicious, but adding coconut? That just takes it to a new level. This cookie combination is a keeper for sure.
I’m a big fan of cookie recipes that require no chill time and this one delivers perfect cookies with no waiting at all.
You’ll just need a few minutes to mix together this cookie dough and you’ll have cookies baking in the oven (and making your house smell fantastic!) before you know it.
Cranberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies and Orange Spice Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies are two more terrific oatmeal cookies to try.
And these Pistachio Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies sound delicious too!
Chocolate Cranberry Cookies are buttery brown sugar cookies filled with melting chocolate chunks and chewy cranberries.
Coconut Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Add the sugars and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth again.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients. Gradually add them to the wet ingredients, half at a time. Stir until fully combined. Add the coconut and cranberries. Stir again.
- Using a medium-size scoop to drop the dough onto a large baking sheet lined with a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven before the cookies are browned and when they still look soft, but not wet in the center. Let the cookies cool on the tray for at least 5 minutes; this will allow them to finish baking without overcooking.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and then store in an airtight container. The cookies will keep well for several days.

Very very sweet!
They can be, Karen. I’m glad that you liked the cookies.
Wow… these were excellent and hearty cookies! I may have eaten a half dozen in a sitting… lol… but seriously, I will absolutely make these again! I needed gluten free so I used Bobs Red Mill GF Oats and Nature’s Basket Gluten Free AP Flour (same measurements as recipe) and they were perfect. The combination of chewy craisins, buttery hearty oats, and sweetened coconut is heavenly! I’m hooked on an oatmeal cookie… never thought I’d say that! Thank you for the deliciousness!
Awe!! I love that!
