These triple coconut oatmeal cookies are made with shredded coconut, coconut oil, and coconut sugar for triple the coconuty goodness! Enjoy them for a snack, or even for breakfast. (Yes, they’re healthy!) 

I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge coconut fan. My coconut obsession only began a few years ago. In fact, when I was younger I didn’t like coconut at all! (I know, what was I thinking?) It was one of those things that for some reason I thought I didn’t like, so I’d refused delicious coconut cake, pina coladas, and anything else that I knew featured coconut as a star ingredient.

I can’t quite pinpoint the day I tried giving coconut another shot, but I do remember developing a love for it. Now I think the more coconut, the better! (I even sprinkle coconut flakes on my smoothie bowls for Instagram all the time!)

This recipe for triple coconut oatmeal cookies are a new favourite of mine! They’re like a cross between a macaroon and an oatmeal cookie. Perfectly chewy, soft and delicious!
