Melting chocolate, creamy peanut butter, flavorful shredded coconut, crunchy pecans and chewy oats – all combined in these irresistible chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.
My favorite season is fall. That might have something to do with my birthday, but mostly it has to do with my allergies. Me, spring and pollen are not good friends. Not at all. Just thinking of pollen and I immediately start to sneeze and have runny eyes. Last week was the worst week ever! Nothing pleased me. The light and the softest sound would give me a terrible headache. There were no painkillers to help me. I tried them all, every 2-3 hours. Days and nights.
The only good thing about my week, except the good kisses and “doctor care” from my 4 year old, was a dozen of these chocolate chip oatmeal cookies hidden in the back of my freezer. They are like the ultimate oatmeal cookies. Chocolate chip, peanut butter, coconut and chopped pecans meet chewy oatmeal cookie.
These chocolate chip oatmeal cookies combine most of my favorites in one irresistible bite. You know I love chocolate and coconut together and loved adding coconut to these peanut butter cookies but have never thought combining all three of them. Oh my goosh!!! Where have I been until now?
It’s an explosion of flavors and a mixture of textures. Melting chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, flavorful shredded coconut, crunchy pecans and chewy oats. Oh yes! These cookies must happen in your kitchen soon!
