Coconut Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Coconut Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies (gluten free, dairy free, and vegan....and 100% amazing)

Coconut Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies….oh yeah!  I love the flavor combination of chocolate and coconut together.  Add in the oatmeal and it’s a match made in cookie heaven.

I made these cookies for a potluck so that I knew there would be something I could eat and for an acquaintance that I knew was celiac and would also be attending the potluck.  Well, wouldn’t you know it, everyone loved them and had no idea they weren’t just regular ol’ cookies.

In fact these were the first cookies I attempted to make with my new dietary restrictions.   I was overwhelmed with all the new flours, additives, restrictions to even attempt a regular cookie…who knew these were my gateway cookie to even better gluten free, dairy free treats.

Coconut Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Easy and tasty gluten free, vegan cookies! The oats, coconut, and vegan chocolate chips go nicely together and even non-vegan and non-GF friends will love these cookies..if you decide to share.

1 1/2 cups gluten free rolled oats
3/4 cup gluten free oat flour
1 tbls cornstarch
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter or butter subsitute (I like Earth Balance sticks), softened
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg or egg replacer
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup (vegan) chocolate chips
1/2 cup shredded coconut

Preheat oven to 350F.

Mix the oats, oat flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix butter and sugars with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy. Add in egg replacer and vanilla; mix until well combined.

Add the wet mixture into the oat mixture and stir until combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and coconut.

Scoop out about 1 1 /2 tbls of mixture, form into a loose ball, and place cookie dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350° F for approximately 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the cookies and place them on a cooling rack. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

  2. These are certainly some filling and beautiful looking cookies! Love all the flavors.

  3. 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

  4. 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!
