These soft, chewy Coconut Chocolate Chip Honey Oatmeal Cookies are super easy to make, have a subtle coconut flavor, and are filled with chocolate! Just the way cookies should be!
Apparently, once I realize chocolate hasn’t made an appearance in our house for awhile, one recipe just isn’t enough! While we enjoyed a batch of chocolate chip almond butter bars and all of the chocolate in those bars, I still was in the mood to bake with chocolate!
So, a batch of whole wheat coconut chocolate chip cookies was in order!
Thick, chewy and filled with coconut and chocolate. These oatmeal cookies have disappeared way too quickly at our house! For being a house that doesn’t eat cookies very often, these cookies definitely made it hard to not grab one every time we walked past the container.
The base of the cookies is from my grandma’s chocolate chip honey oatmeal cookies that are some of my favorites. And, some of your favorites, too! Those cookies are one of the most popular cookie recipes on the blog every since they were posted.
I guess it just proves that grandma’s recipes really are best!
I wanted to make a twist to those cookies that made them a little thicker and that added coconut. Chocolate coconut is a combination that I don’t make often enough.
The bits of coconut that stick out from the dough toast while baking and add a bit of crunch and nuttiness that goes perfectly with the oats.
The result is an irresistible cookie that I think does justice to grandma’s recipe!

WOW! These look delicious! The ingredients are very tasty too I am sure. I love cookies with whole wheat flour and oatmeal. I have added coconut to cookies with cranberries and chocolate.
