Chewy Oatmeal Cookies with a hint of orange that are slightly crispy on the outside.

Orange Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

I have always loved oatmeal cookies. Slightly chewy, slightly crispy. But, truth be told, I’m not a huge fan of oatmeal cookies with add-ins like raisins or chocolate chips. Which is what I got excited when I saw Trisha Yearwood make this recipe. I’m not usually one to make a recipe just as it is, so of course I had to tweak it a little bit.

The addition of orange and coconut add another level of flavor that really knock it out of the park for these cookies.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 2 sticks salted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of one large orange
  • Juice of one large orange about 1/4 cup
  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
  • 1 cup grated coconut

Instructions
 

  • Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the orange zest and juice, eggs and vanilla and beat well.
  • In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir in the dry mixture to the butter mixture. Then add the oatmeal and coconut.
  • Using an cookie scoop, drop dough on an baking sheet lined with parchment paper, about 2 inches apart. Chill for one hour.
  • Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 10 minutes until the cookies turn a light brown.
  • Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    These were great! Fluffy and chewy, yummy flavor. I used 3/4 coconut oil instead because I didn’t have butter, and it just upped the coconut flavor.

    Amazing cookies! I made a double batch this evening. The only change I made to the recipe was to reduce baking temp by 5 degrees and add 2 minutes to each cookie sheet group. I cooled the cookie sheet under cold water before adding more cookies each time and sprayed cookie sheet with non-stick spray before dropping cookies. Whole family loved them! Thank you!

    I really like this recipe, second time I’ve made it recently. I used fine wholemeal flour and a third of the sugar suggested. The second time round I used zest from two oranges because I had it and mixed in some leftover cooked porridge. Just sweet enough, filling and happy-making. Thank you!
