If you are looking for the BEST cookies to dip in milk, I highly recommend these Oatmeal Coconut Dream Cookies. They are easy to make, delicious, and full of all the things. They are one of the best cookies I have ever tasted.
The title speaks for itself. These cookies are a dream come true. They are delicious, so easy to make, impossible to mess up and are a crowd favorite.
You’ll love them. The combination of oatmeal, coconut, walnuts, chocolate chips, and a cookie, really is amazing.
These are quite rich and filling, so they are perfect for serving a crowd. They are also the best cookie to dip in milk. I would even say better than Oreo’s.
Tips for making soft and chewy cookies
- Knowing how your cookies, ingredients, combine and react together, is key to making soft and chewy cookies.
- The main key to making soft and chewy cookies is how your butter is softened. If you melt your butter in the microwave, completely, your cookies are going to be a little crunchy. You want your butter to be softened at room temperature, not melted, so the dough will be thicker, and not so liquidy. If you are using margarine, it doesn’t need to be softened or microwaved. But if you are using butter, it should be the same texture as margarine. Either one would work for this recipe.
- It’s also important that you add the ingredients in order. The ingredients react differently when added at different times. We highly recommend following the recipe.
- If you are making the cookies ahead of time, and are planning to store them, we recommend using an airtight plastic container, as well as layering them with wax or parchment paper between each layer.
- We also recommend placing a piece of bread in the container to keep it extra fresh. It sounds weird, but it works. I don’t exactly know the science behind it, but I do know it works. Try it if you don’t believe me.

What do you mean scoop into small bowls?
-
Cyd says:
That should be balls. We scooped the cookie dough into about 1 inch balls.
-
Holly says:
What is cane sugar? What can I use as a sub? I don't like to buy things just for one recipe.
-
Cyd says:
You can use regular granulated sugar in place of cane sugar.

Cheryl says:
Our new household favorite! Thank you

CHerryl says:
If I left out the walnuts would it affect the recipe? Im making them for a school event & im not sure about allergies.
-
Cyd says:
You should be fine leaving out the walnuts.
-
Rosie says:
What’s fashion oats?
-
Cyd says:
Rolled Oats. Also called old-fashioned or whole oats, rolled oats look like flat, irregularly round, slightly textured discs.
-
Katie says:
2 Tbsp of vanilla extract?? Should this be tsp?
-
Cyd says:
Hi Katie. I went in and looked at the recipe, and it's not a big batch of cookie dough. I sided with you and I think it's 2 teaspoons of vanilla. (Which could still be a lot.) I think 2 Tablespoons of vanilla would overpower the whole recipe. Thanks for catching that. The recipe has been changed.

Nancy says:
Do you chill the dough before baking ? Can I make ahead a chill overnight?
-
Nancy says:
One of the tastiest cookies . The texture is perfect . Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside ! A perfect cookie ! ❤️
-
Cyd says:
You can totally make this dough ahead of time and chill overnight.
-
Kirt says:
Followed the recipe perfectly. Softened the butter at room temperature and mixed in the sequence specified. Cookies kept spreading flat when cooked. Used a new box of baking soda too. Tried batches with both dark and light brown sugar - same results. I finally resorted to substituting 2 tsp of dual active baking powder in place of the 1/2 tsp baking soda called for in the recipe. The cookies finally stopped going flat, but still don't look as "puffy" as the picture shown above.
-
Cyd says:
We are so sorry they didn't work for you. Was your dough sticky - maybe it needed a little more flour?
-
Betty says:
Hello - May I substitute quick oats for the old fashioned? Thank you!
-
Momma Cyd says:
Yes, quick oats work great too!
