Gluten Free Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

Gluten free, Dairy free, Refined sugar free

GF oatmeal coconut chocolate chip cookies

Chocolate + coconut is arguably the best combination of flavors since PB&J and I gotta say, I’m here for it!

This recipe for Gluten Free Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies is a revamp of an old blog recipe of mine. Since cutting out gluten, there were some recipes that I couldn’t enjoy anymore - but I knew there was a way to fix that!

After 5 times testing this recipe [my husband seemed to have no quarrels about that], I finally landed on one that made for a soft cookie with the crunch of toasted coconut and that ooey gooey chocolate chip cookie flavor we all love.

These cookies were a real labor of love and I hope you enjoy them!
