Oatmeal cookies, coconut cookies… love them both. Combine them together, and SHAZAM, we’ve got something oh-so-delicious!
I’ve always been a fan of oatmeal,
both for breakfast and in baked goods
A bowl of oatmeal in the morning is hearty, comforting, filling… substantial.
Oatmeal imparts a distinct, desirable flavor and texture to every recipe, and oatmeal cookies are one of my favorites… and I know I’m not the only one.
They certainly have a long-standing tradition for being popular worldwide since oatmeal first showed up in cookie form in Scotland in the late 1800s. They knew a good thing when they tried it.
Oatmeal cookies are so popular that April 30th is National Oatmeal Cookie Day!
Oh, and I adore coconut confections, too… pies, cakes, cookies, I love them all.
Try my Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Smoothie, or my Banana Maple Oatmeal Cookies or my Oatmeal Cupcakes with Cinnamon Sugar Frosting.
So what is it about this combination of hearty oats and tropical coconut that is beyond tasty?
And check out these Coconut Lime Scones, Luau Ice Cream or Pink Coconut Cake.
I guess it’s sort of like other great pairings such as bread and cheese; wine and chocolate; Fred and Ginger. Oops, I digress. You get the picture.
This recipe is super easy and quick to make, too, because there’s no refrigeration time, no rolling and cutting out.
Mix and bake, easy-peasy.
These cookies don’t fall flat, either, having a nice domed appearance.
Mmmm, and these cookies have just the right “chew” – not too chewy, not too crisp… just right!
So when you’re craving cookie goodness, without any fuss – and want it fast and easy – give these oatmeal coconut cookies a try.
You’ll be so HAPPY you did!

i like oatmeal, but i like baked goods with oats in them even better (: coconut and oats especially sound good together, since they both have that toasty nutty thing going on.
