Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies – swap coconut oil for the butter! SO good! Just a hint of coconut flavor. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside – perfect!
I bought a jar of coconut oil at Trader Joe’s and I wasn’t sure what to do with it. I had a real craving for a chocolte chip cookie, so I decided to substitute coconut oil for the butter in one of my recipes. Oh my! The cookies were SO delicious! They turned out crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Just the way I like them! I especially liked the slight hint of coconut flavor in the cookies.
My favorite part about making these cookies was that I didn’t have to wait around for the butter to soften. I just opened the jar of coconut oil and started baking. It was great for spur of the moment cookie cravings!
Have you experimented with coconut oil? What is your favorite way to use it?

Hi there,
Just wanted to reach out and let you know that I’ve been using your chocolate chip cookie recipe for years, and it’s still my favorite! I get tons of compliments on these when I make them, so just wanted to reach out and thank you for the great recipe.
Thanks!

These look great! Coconut oil real is a wonderful replacement for butter!
I made these and the dough was too thick and didn't seem right so I added a small container of applesauce. (I think those are 4 oz). The cookies were a little cake-like than original toll house, but tasty. I don't understand why others did not have the thick, dry dough I had before adding the unsweetened applesauce.
I am making these now and was kinda iffy about coconut oil..But these are really good…I popped in some dark chocolate morals in with the semi-sweet. Can't wait till the family tries them..
just made these and they are delicious!!! Perfect recipe. Thank you!
All I can say is OMG!!! Loved these cookies! Could not believe how wonderful these were. I used bourbon/vanilla that I got at Trader Joes , when I picked up the coconut oil. These are now my go to cookie!
I just made this and they are so good! We had run out of butter in the house, and so I searched and found your recipe, definitely saving it! My only suggestion for others is that with the coconut oil, the cookies are very sweet, so using less sugar, or dark chocolate chips might work better to give some depth.
