Coconut Cashew Oatmeal Cookies
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!
- 1 C (2 sticks) Unsalted butter
- 1 C Sugar
- ½ C Brown sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 tsp Coconut extract
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 ½ C All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 ½ C Oats
- 1 C Shredded coconut
- 1 C White chocolate chips
- 1 ½ C Cashews, chopped
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Soften butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Combine softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until well combined; 2-3 minutes.
- Add eggs, coconut and vanilla extract. Beat until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, quick oats, salt and baking soda. Stir to combine and slowly add into batter, mixing on low speed until dough starts to form.
- Add shredded coconut, chopped cashews and white chocolate chips. Mix until incorporated.
- Spoon 3 tablespoons of dough onto a lined baking sheet for each cookie. Bake for 15-18 minutes until cookies start to turn light brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before moving onto a wire rack to cool.
Enjoy!

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.
Patsy
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!

This is my first review I have ever made on a recipe. THESE ARE TO DIE FOR!!! Since the day I made them and brought them home to my family they have asked me to 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!!
