Coconut Cashew Oatmeal Cookies

Coconut Cashew Oatmeal Cookies… These cookies are amazing!

In my adult life, I have turned into a lover of most things coconut. I used to despise coconut. In additional to these Coconut Cashew Oatmeal Cookies, I am making things like Triple Coconut Poke Cake and Coconut Chai Chocolate Chips Cookies. These cookies were inspired after my recent introduction to coconut covered cashews. I first found them at Trader Joe’s, and then most recently at Costco. The sweet and salty combination is unresistable. I have been working on a few variation of oatmeal cookies and I am excited to share this one with you today. This cookie is stuffed with coconut, cashews and white chocolate chips. They freeze well and stay soft once thawed! I took the bag on my recent vacation to the lake and they didn’t last long!

    Hi Julianne

    What type of oatmeal did you use,old-fashioned or quick, did you use salted or unsalted cashews and did you use sweetened or unsweetened coconut in this recipe.

      Good questions.

    I made these last night but I used only vanilla extract (because that's all I had) and substituted walnuts for cashews and they were excellent! Thanks for great recipe!

    I made these last week to take to share with the teachers at my children's school. They were SO delicious. I loved that they weren't super sweet and the texture was perfect. I will definitely make them again!

    I made this recipe this evening...OMG!!! my new favorite cookie. They are so good. I only used 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tsp coconut extract..thought maybe the 2 tsp of each as stated in the recipe was a tad too much..think I was right. Fabulous!!
