❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
It’s funny because I’ve served them several times to people who claim they don’t like coconut or cranberries and somehow…they love these cookies. This is a simple cookie recipe but delicious. These cookies are great for gifts during the holidays.
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Butter, softened
- Brown sugar
- White sugar
- Baking soda
- All-purpose flour
- Cinnamon
- Old fashioned oats
- Craisins (dried cranberries)
- Chopped pecans
- Shredded coconut
- Eggs
- Vanilla
SWAPS
You could easily replace the pecans with any type of nuts your family enjoys or simply leave them out. You can also switch out the vanilla flavoring for maple or coconut. Could also switch out the cinnamon for nutmeg or allspice.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
These cookies are really easy to make once you get all the ingredients out and organized.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350. Combine butter and sugars in a bowl and mix with mixer until creamy.
Step 2
Mix in eggs and vanilla, and beat until well combined. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add wet ingredients and mix well. Stir in oatmeal, craisins, coconut, and pecans.
Step 3
On a greased cookie sheet (or you can use parchment paper) drop rounded spoonfuls on the pan. Cook for 11-14 minutes or until edges are brown. Makes 36-48 cookies, depending on size.
⭐TIP
Cookies should look a little underdone when removed from the oven and should be light around the edges. Cookies will continue to cook from the heat of the cookie sheet once removed. This is a mistake I have made many times letting them cook too long and it’s easy to do.

I made these today for a Thanksgiving snack I had to use up my cranberries and coconut so your recipe fit right in. I my self can’t eat but a bit (to much sugar) but they were so good I give away most of what I cook I can’t stay out of the kitchen But my Bestie Friend Loves everything I bring her so I don’t feel so bad about cooking to much But Thanks I love them a lot No Nuts I can’t have But still GREAT :o)
Husband was looking for a coconut cookie and he likes the cranberry oatmeal so this was ideal!!! Used a cookie scoop and made 53 cookies!!! And he gave it 2 thumbs up!!
I’m obsessed with this recipe! I’m definitely making them for Christmas!!
These oatmeal cookies are tasty and have the perfect chewy texture that oatmeal cookies should have. I followed the recipe exactly and my family and I loved every bit of it. The combination of oats, cranberries, pecans and coconut was great. We didn’t find these too sweet at all even though I did expect them to be with the 1-1/2 cups of sugar. The cranberries added that little bit of tartness to tame the sweetness of the 2 sugars and coconut. Great balance of flavors!
Can white chocolate chips be added and leave out coconut?
Sure!
Very good! I left out the nuts and used unsweetened coconut flakes I had in my pantry. Still a sweet cookie. I used my cookie scoop (don’t know the size) and it yielded 35 for me. Those I baked spread out nicely into a perfect size. Allow enough room for spreading on the cookie sheet, my scooped amount looked small but it spread. Oven time was spot on…12-14 mins. Since I don’t need 35 baked cookies, I decided to freeze half the recipe into individual scoops, so I can thaw and bake 3-4 at a time in the future. Will be making these again, but will add nuts and maybe leave out the dried cranberries. (Though I didn’t grease my cookie sheet, its an Air Bake sheet, or use parchment paper, I can see how they could really stick to the pan if you don’t remove them to cooling rack within a couple of minutes out of the oven).
