Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
Say that ten times fast.
Okay, I guess it’s not that hard. Anyways……
Here’s the thing. Coconut and Chocolate just make sense together. Kind of like spray tans and vegas. Coronas and lime wedges. Margaritas and salt. And chips and guacamole. And lululemon yoga pants and me. Duh. Some things are just meant to be. So we won’t fight it.
Once upon a time, about 4 days ago, my future hubby asked me to whip up a batch of cookies for his last day at his current company, I was like, ummm heck yes. Coconut and Chocolate Chip cookies coming right up. Well, okay so maybe I dragged my feet a little bit because I was right smack in the middle of watching Bethenny’s new talk show, and I literally can’t pull myself away from the TV while it’s on, but eventually I got around to whipping up this latest batch of cookies.
These Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies are jazzy. I don’t know what makes them jazzy. But trust me, they are.
So being the good future wife I plan to be, I sent Thomas off with a giant batch of Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies so he could bring them to his friends at work. Also, I couldn’t have them in the house because I just kept starring at them, and then eating like 2 of them at a time, and then 2 more 5 minutes later, and, well, you see the cycle. They are just that good. And no upcoming bachelorette party or bikini is going to keep me away from a kick ass cookie. I don’t possess that much self control.
But here’s a tip. If you were to keep all of these in your house…and you wanted to make them last… once the cookies have completely cooled off, bag them up in a big zip lock bag and throw them into the freezer. That way, when the mood strikes for a cookie, just pull 1-23 out of the freezer and go to town. I don’t even bother heating them up. I like a nice chilled cookie. Especially in the summer 
Time to get baking!

I love chilled cookies too! Mmmm…the coconut combination sounds a little too irresistible!
LURVE coconut. You know i’ll be making these!
A good future wife you are. And devoted Bethenny fan. And cookie maker. Like the full package!
Gosh, I am crazy for coconut! Thanks for sharing this recipe! I will most certainly be making these sweets soon.
coconut + chocolate ARE a match made in heaven. Love these!
LOVE coconut. These look sooo good Gaby!
Mmmmm. C.C.C.C. Love them!
G, congrats to Thomas on his new adventures, whatever they may be! And, um, my mother would freak out for a chocolate-coconut cookie so I’ll definitely keep these in mind for her!
love anything with coconut in them – another tip would be to squash a scoop of mango ice cream between two cookies and freeze – tropical ice cream sandwich? YES PLEASE
I am so, so, into these!
Reminds me of a version of Girl Scout Samoas!
Yum!! Love the chocolate-coconut combo. I agree with Catherine that these remind me of samoas (maybe throw a little browned butter in there)!
Whaaaaaaaat? These are two great things that belong together. Like you and me! Hint hint!
Yum! I love a good cookie and your recipe looks absolutely amazing! I would so love to try some.
These look so delicious Gaby! I love chocolate + coconut
Chocolate chips + coconut. I am all over this!
This is a delicious twist on traditional chocolate chip cookies. This is specially great for coconut lovers such as myself.
I love how you incorporated coconut into such a classic. What a lovely surprise! Thanks for sharing!
I used only 1/2 cup of butter and they turned out great. Another thing I would mention is that when you take them out of the oven they are a bit more fluffy but after you let them sit for a few minutes they fall. But I love this recipe and almost all of Gfabys others recipes!
Hey Tamara!! So happy you love all the recipes
And yes, I totally get what you’re saying about the cookies collapsing… I think it’s because I tend to take them out 1-2 minutes before they are fully cooked because I like them gooey and chewy on the middle! I’ll have to experiment next time and see if they fall if I leave them in a few minutes longer

Gaby- I LOVE your recipes! I made these last night and I came in to see if anyone else had my problem and I see Tamara made the adjustment. I used the entire cup of butter and they came out glistening with butter and super flat and soft. I only baked one batch, is there any way to counteract the excess butter with the rest of the dough before I bake them?
I just made these today and they are SOOOO good!!! The BEST cookies I’ve ever made! Thanks!! I was sure to share the recipe already to all of my family and friends!
yay!!! So glad you liked them Nikki!!

I needed a receipe for coconut chocolate chip cookies i found your receipe, i am making them on Dec,14,2012 I will let you know how they came out.
LOVED these cookies! They turned out SO great. I didn’t chill the dough… I didn’t read ahead, and I had already preheated my oven… so I just threw them straight in after I mixed the ingredients. They’re perfect! Definitely saving this recipe!
