Ingredient Notes
Rolled Oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats for this recipe. Don't substitute quick or instant oats. They absorb differently and will change the texture of the cookies.
Coconut Flakes: I like unsweetened coconut flakes for these Vegan Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies. They add so much chew. I save sweetened shredded coconut for making Vegan Coconut Cake!
Vegan Butter: I like Soy-Free Earth Balance Buttery Sticks or Country Crock Plant Butter Sticks. Whatever non-dairy butter you use, be sure to use one that comes in stick form and not in a tub!
Chocolate Chips: I like dark chocolate chips, but use whatever you like!
Brown Sugar: These base of the cookies is a warm brown sugar cookie dough.
Variations
If you add ½ cup of chopped pecans to this cookie recipe, you will have vegan cowboy cookies!
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. Cream vegan butter and brown sugar together using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
Step 2. Add non-dairy milk and vanilla and mix well.
Step 3. Add flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix to form the batter.
Step 4. Add coconut flakes and chocolate chips and mix to distribute. Now, preheat the oven and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Step 5. Scoop the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet leaving 3 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 6. And bake the Vegan Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies until golden! Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough.
Recipe FAQs
To store, transfer the cookies to an airtight container and keep at room temperature for up to 4 days.
Or freeze for up to a month.
Always use old-fashioned rolled oats for baking cookies. They lend the perfect chew and texture to the cookies.
Instant oats absorb more liquid than rolled oats. So, using instant oats will make the batter much thicker and make the texture of the finished cookies more dry.
Expert Recipe Tips
Once the dry ingredients are added into the bowl, be careful not to over mix! Mix just until the cookie dough comes together.
Preheat the oven after the cookies are mixed to give the oatmeal a little time to absorb. Once the oven is preheated, the cookie dough is good to go!

This is one very good cookie recipe !!! I used whole wheat flour , I did 4tbs butter and substituted 2oz which is 4tbs unsweetened vegan almond yoghurt to cut back on fat, i also reduced the milk to 3tbs due to the yoghurt being more liquid . I reduced the sugar to 2/3 cups and added 2tbs molasses and 1tsp almond extract . My oven doesn’t bake hot I increased the oven to 365 baked 17 minutes I like my cookies with a nice golden color , they were perfect chewy amazing texture , next time I will reduce the sugar it was a little to sweet for me 1/2 cup with the molasses will be perfect for my taste . Thank you it’s a keeper ! It seems I made many substitutions I was trying to cut back the fat content , I always reduce sugar in any recipes they have tendency to be too sweet for me .
