Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies with Coconut Oil

by Kelley Wilson Filed Under: Desserts, Kid Friendly Recipes, Parenting, Recipes 1 Comment

Sometimes the simplest of cookies is the best. My fathers favorite was always Oatmeal, my kids is chocolate chip so we put them together and made yummy Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies with Coconut Oil. Coconut Oil is a something people are using more and more and you can substitute it in many of your baking recipes but there are a few adjustments.Chocolate chip oatmeal cookies with coconut oil stacked on a black granite countertop

Exchanging Coconut Oil for Butter in Cookies

Cookies made with coconut oil instead of butter will generally turn out okay, though they'll be a bit more crunchy. That's because butter is 16 to 17 percent water, while coconut oil is pure fat. Less moisture produces a crisper cookie. If you substitute 1:1, your coconut oil recipe will have more oil and a bit less water than the same recipe with butter and you may not like it as much. You'll need to add just a bit less. If you have a certain weight of butter, multiply by 0.81 to convert to coconut oil.

The dough for these Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies with coconut oil can be frozen for up to 9 months, so it's easy to get a jump start on your holiday baking.

This cookie recipe will make 2 dozen, perfect for making some for now, and saving some for later.  Mix it up and then place half in an airtight container in the freezer or make them into a log roll to cut and bake.  When you're ready to bake, thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

    Hi! Your recipe calls for 1 c. milk in the ingredients, but the directions don't include it. I made them without the milk and with the milk. The hands down, best cookie is the one without the milk!! Best oatmeal cookie I've ever made! Thank you!!! :)
