These are delicious! I used coconut oil instead of butter for more coconut flavor and AP flour instead of oat flour. I think next time I will lightly toast the coconut before mixing it in to make the coconut less..chewy? Very yummy I will make these again 🙂
These are amazing and I love that the recipe is halved so I don’t over indulge too much! I’m using these as lactation cookies to help my supply, if I can keep my husband away from them!
Hi Wendy, I just saw these awesome looking cookies on the Earth Balance website–quick question, what exactly did you use for your egg replacer for this batch? Because they look so great! I eat a plant-based diet and my baked goods are not exactly successful. I’ve used flax eggs and Ener-G egg replacer and things come out flat…I also use Earth Balance so it could be something I’m doing there with temperature of the sticks…any advice/tips? Thanks so much!!!
Hi Julie…thanks for stopping by. 🙂 I use Ener-G as my egg replacer. I haven’t had any problems with it yet. Let me know how the cookies turn out for you. 🙂
As I’ve made diet changes because of allergies I’ve tried a lot of recipes out…this is one of my faves! My friends love them, too, & better still their kids ask for them…thanks!
Thanks Amy! I’m so happy to hear that you (and the kids) like them! 🙂
These are so good! Thank you!
So glad you like them Bridgette! 🙂
I love that these are so simple yet so delicious looking!
Thanks Abby!
Wendy,
These cookies look so good! My neighbor’s son does not eat dairy, so I’m always in the market for an allergy-friendly treat for the ‘hood, and this will fit the bill.
Thanks!
I cant wait to make these! I love coconut in my chocolate chip cookies but Janice does not like coconut so I couldnt make them with coconut when the kids were little, but I do now! My favorite cookie is oatmeal, so why haven’t I thought about combing all three? YUM
These are certainly some filling and beautiful looking cookies! Love all the flavors.
Thanks Kristen!
Ooh these look so good! I love chocolate chip oatmeal cookies – love that you added coconut to it!
The coconut is what really kicked these cookies up another notch Julie! YUM!
