oatmeal coconut and cinnamon chip cookies

January 11, 2013 by Leave a Comment

You know you’re loved when more than one person bakes something for you with your favorite ingredient.  Take, for example, my mother-in-law.  She loves coconut.  Around Christmastime her friend Mavis made her Coconut and Almond Toffee and Coconut Macaroons (which were both seriously delicious, by the way).  Then I also made these cookies with coconut in them to bring to Christmas because I know how much she loves coconut.  Hopefully she wasn’t coconut-ed out!  

I ended up loving these cookies and had a hard time keeping myself away from them!  And I didn’t even think I liked coconut that much…  They were chewy on the outside, and buttery and soft in the middle.  I loved the chew from the coconut and oatmeal, and the coconut chips studded throughout gave them a little extra sweetness and spice.  They might look like your typical oatmeal cookie at first glance, but I promise you they are much more than that.  

Oh and if anyone’s wondering, my favorite ingredient is chocolate.
