Coconut & Pecan Oatmeal Cookies

02/17/2015 11 Comments

Coconut & Pecan Oatmeal CookiesMy hubby has the ultimate sweet tooth, and the best way to make him happy is by making him sweet treats.  When I say ultimate sweet tooth I mean ULTIMATE!  He would eat donuts and cookies for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if he could and he has at times!  Which isn’t fair since he never gains a single pound from any of it.  This past weekend he requested something with coconut, so I gladly obliged with a double batch of these Coconut & Pecan Oatmeal Cookies.

This recipe is such a great combination of ingredients, you seriously can’t eat just one cookie!  Try I dare you!  It’s definitely become one of our families favorites.

You can easily adapt this recipe, try adding dark or milk chocolate chips.  The base recipe for this cookie is also my favorite recipe for making old fashioned oatmeal raisin cookies, or oatmeal and cranberry cookies.  Do you have a favorite oatmeal cookie combination, if so – leave a comment and tell me about it.

For the recipe be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post to print and save this recipe.

    These sound delicious! I bet they would be good if you added some chocolate chips!

    Had to stop by and see what Kendra has been up too on your site! Looks great (as always)! It was great to meet you at the BYBC. I always love seeing your projects. You are so inspiring. I might add that these cookies are making me drool! I’ll have to try them out. And if you have the time, would you mind telling me what plugin or method you use to post the printable recipe card. I love how yours looks. http://www.tidbits-cami.com/

    Made these cookies this evening. I did reduce the sugar by 1/3 c because I felt they would be sweet enough with the coconut. Perfect! I did flatten cookies just a bit. Good taste and not too unhealthy. Would make them again.

      Thanks Vinetta, that’s great to know. I’m actually on the hunt for ways to lessen the sugar content in treats for my boys and I will give that a try next batch of these I make. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I halved the recipe since I only had one egg and they are wonderful! You are so right that they are a great base for add-ins. Next time I will try adding white chocolate chips and substitute macadamia nuts for the pecans. I may even try chopping up candied pineapple and go completely tropical! I’m lucky I only had one egg… I don’t think these will last long. ๐Ÿ™‚
