These coconut oatmeal cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and chewy. Made with rolled oats, desiccated coconut, and yoghurt, they're a delicious twist on traditional oatmeal cookies.

Recipe Top Tips!

  • Be sure to use Fage TOTAL Greek yoghurt with 5% fat, cheaper brands may well be thin and lacking in taste - you'll find it in any good supermarket.
  • You will need a baking wire cooling rack to stop your cookies from going soggy when cooled.
  • You'll also need two mixing bowls - one large and one small.

Ingredients

  • 110g unsalted butter - softened
  • 110g soft brown sugar
  • 110g caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 100g 'Total' Greek yoghurt
  • 2 tablespoons of runny honey
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda (Bicarb)
  • 280g plain flour
  • 140g oats
  • 175g desiccated coconut
  • a little milk if needed

Easy to make and delicious too!
Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 10 MinTotal time: 20 Min

Ingredients

You will need a large mixing bowl and another smaller bowl
  • 110g unsalted butter - softened
  • 110g soft brown sugar
  • 110g caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 100g 'Total' Greek yoghurt
  • 2 tablespoons of runny honey
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda (Bicarb)
  • 280g plain flour
  • 140g oats
  • 175g desiccated coconut
  • a little milk if needed

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 180°c/350°f or Gas 4
  1. Cream the butter with both the brown and caster sugar until soft and creamy - a wooden spoon will do the trick.
  2. Now put in the eggs and vanilla extract. Give a mix together and then add the yoghurt and honey.
  3. In a separate large mixing bowl combine the salt, baking powder, soda and flour. Once that's done you can add in the butter, sugar, egg, yoghurt and honey mixture.
  4. Mix well and then add the oats and coconut. If the mixture is way too dry then you can add a little milk - just a little at a time.
  5. Cover a cookie sheet with greaseproof paper. Dollop spoonfuls of the cookie mixture and using wet fingers pat down till they are the right size. You will probably have to cook them in two batches.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Just make sure they don't get too done as they're better when they are nice and soft! Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
  7. *Store in an airtight container and they will be good for the next day or two.
