Cookie Win… Finally
I’ve had so many chocolate chip cookie disasters. It’s such a basic recipe to know, but somehow I am a chocolate chip cookie making failure.
I wonder if this is really the best way to open a chocolate chip cookie recipe post? 🙂
I’ve seen it all: chocolate chip cookie batter almost instantly melting in my oven and all over the cookie sheet. Sad. Chocolate chip cookies that have a delicate brick-like texture. Tears. Chocolate chip cookies when I accidentally used milk chocolate instead of semi sweet and ended up with burned chocolate. Bummer.
So why would I keep trying? Because, I tasted these amazing Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies. To. Die. For. I’ve had success with this recipe every single time!

Coconut Oil Forever
I tasted Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies at a friends house and immediately demanded the recipe. You know… for the kids.
This is my all-time favorite chocolate chip cookie. It gets perfectly crispy brown around the edges when baking, but stays gooey inside. They stand tall and fluffy instead of spreading all over the place. They’re not sickening sweet, but totally hit the spot when you have a chocolate chip cookie craving.
I love them.
The coconut oil in this recipe is solid, not melted. My favorite coconut oil is from Aldi. It’s just perfect for all sorts of uses and it’s also the best price.
These cookies do need to be baked on a non-stick mat, or you can coat your baking sheet with non-stick spray. I am a fan of the Silpat (affiliate).
Do you have a Silpat? Then pull that baby out and get it ready for cookie dough.
If you don’t have a Silpat, click here now to check them out. They’re such a helpful kitchen tool!
Speaking of helpful kitchen tools, this is my Pampered Chef scoopy-thingy. I do feel like that cannot possibly be what it is actually called. Melon baller maybe? Who knows. You can just call your friend who sells Pampered Chef and show her this picture and she’ll know. You need this scoopy thingy in your life.
Somehow you’ll need to hold yourself back from eating the dough. Just remind yourself that if you eat all the dough there will be no cookies. Plus that whole raw egg salmonella hazard situation… so there’s that.
There she is… a perfect, soft yet crispy, fluffy, ooey gooey, melty chocolate heavenly Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip Cookie. *angels singing*

About the coconut in the cookies… I’ve never made the cookies without the coconut. Would someone please comment if you attempt the recipe sans shredded coconut? I’d love to know how it turns out!

It looks so delicious. I just don’t know if there is a coconut oil that is solid in our area. coconuts are so expensive in South Korea.
Leigh Anne Borders says
I am truly not a baker. I love eating the stuff though. My husband does all the baking and cooking so I am definitely going to ask him to make these for me.
Ruthie Ridley says
I am not a huge fan of coconut but these sounds really good!!
sally says
Hi! These look great! I am looking at the nutritional info though and want to clarify something. It says serving size is 24, so does that mean the numbers are totals? How about if I just eat one?
carissashaw says
I make my cookies pretty big! So this recipe makes about 24 cookies for me and I consider one cookie to be one serving. But you can make the cookies smaller. You may need to reduce the baking time by a minute.
Maria-Cristina Fuste says
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that there’s a typo towards the end of the recipe. I assume that you mean cool on a wire rack instead of cook. I’m not an expert baker, and It took me some time to figure out that I didn’t need to put them back in on a wire rack!!! I’m terrible. I just wanted to let you know in case another lost in space fan gets lost! I will make the cookies tomorrow for a birthday party. They sound delicious!
carissashaw says
Oh wow! Thanks for point that out! It’s always those little typo’s that get me where the word is spelled correctly but just not the right word. Oy vey!
