My daughter loves cookies more than anyone I know. Seriously. I know lot's of us love cookies, but honestly, she loves them WAY more than just about anyone I've ever met! We affectionately call her our little cookie monster! These cookies are her absolute favorites. Actually, these are a favorite of everyone in my whole family. They're big, soft and wonderfully chewy. They're also easy to make. This recipe, for some reason, doesn't call for creaming the shortening and sugars separately before combining with the flour mixture. That makes it a bit quicker to put these together and saves the cleaning of an extra bowl. Yay! That's always a big plus in my book!!! Another great thing about these lovely's is that they ship well. Because they're made with shortening instead of butter they stay nice and soft for the time need for shipping. I send these often to both my college kids and they always arrive in great condition. I really hope you give these a try. Enjoy!
This recipe is at my new site. Hope to see you there :) I've posted a lot of new things.

Yum! I've newly started liking coconut and I'm always a fan of less dishes. :) Have you made America's Test Kitchen Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies?
ReplyDeleteHey Emily. No I have'nt made those yet. Have you? Bet they're delish!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite cookie involves coconut and oats also!
ReplyDeleteCoconut is one of my favorite ingredients, but I've never made a cookie with it! (made some coconut bread just last night.) Definitely going to try these soon and I LOVE the idea they can be made all in one bowl. I am a very messy cook!
ReplyDeleteBig YUMS up! Love the one bowl idea. In my tiny kitchen, every inch counts :)
ReplyDeleteYum! I am with your daughter; I can't get enough of cookies, and I can see why she likes these cookies. Great flavor combination:)
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious!! I am going to have to try this recipe very soon. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCookies made with shortening are always a favorite in this house! I will be bookmarking this recipe for sure!
ReplyDeleteI have lots of cookie monsters at my house too. I know they'd love this cookie. Although I'd be tempted to throw in some chocolate chips.
ReplyDeleteI love oatmeal cookies. Adding coconut could me my absolute favorite too! I'll have to try it.
ReplyDeleteHoly Double Yum! I'm an avid coconut fan and I just added these to the must bake list.
ReplyDeleteCookies are my fav and these coconut oatmeal cookies look amazing! I love oatmeal but never had it with coconut before in a cookie. Always up for something new!
ReplyDeleteWe love cookies here too. I've also never had oatmeal with coconut in a cookie. I guess that's going to change...
ReplyDeleteKaren
yum these look so good! Love the coconut and oatmeal combo.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathleen, wow, these cookies look and sound perfect. I've never thought of pairing coconut and oatmeal together. I am enjoying this with a cup of coffee in hand and an egg sandwich by my side. I hope you have a cool and relaxing Thursday. We are trying to beat back this heat in Austin!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to send these to my boyfriend in Afghanistan. I love that they will withhold the week it takes for packages to get over there! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious combination, oatmeal and coconut. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
