Soft and chewy Brown Sugar Cinnamon Coconut Oil Cookies! My favorite to make around the holidays!
Brett and I just enjoyed a weekend babyboon/staycation and as much rest as I got (we seriously ate and slept so much!) I woke up feeling under the weather today. Stuffed up, headache, and still soooo tired. As much as I want to stay in pj’s, watch Christmas movies and bake cookies today…..MONDAY calls. Ugg. But last week while Brett’s parents were here I whipped up these Brown Sugar Cinnamon Coconut Oil Cookies!
They are one of my favorites to make around the holidays! Soft and chewy, sweet and cinnamon-y with a hint of coconut! Almost like a snickerdoodle, but not quite a snickerdoodle. Promise you’ll love ’em!
I attempted a paleo version last week too, but it flopped. So maybe sometime this week I’ll attempt it again. But at least these are made with coconut oil- good healthy fat for ya! Let’s call them healthy mmmkay!

Oh I would love to be as fearless as I once was as a kid, or actually as I once was before I had my daughter. Nowadays, I’m a little more reserved than I once was.
I hope you find that energy again.
I hate to break it to you … but I just barely tired coconut oil over the weekend in some coconut/oatmeal/chocolate chip cookies. And I’m hooked. And I’m dying to buy some popcorn kernels and try it with that. I blame you š These look amazing, I think I’ll have to make them for the big game on Sunday!!
These sound incredible…I can’t wait to try!
My granddaughter made a double batch and I just want to say, ” I thought moving to Florida was heaven, now I’m on cloud 9 in heaven. Thank you very, very, very much.
I love that you combined coconut oil and brown butter! So good!
These cookies look really good. I’ve had a jar of that oil in my cupboard forever! I need to use it already.
I just made these tonight. First time ever baking with coconut oil and it was a success!
So simply and delicious. I live in Hawaii, so the oil was liquid in my cabinet (no polar vortex here to keep it in its solid state) and I wasn’t sure if that would make a difference, so I put it in the fridge until it was solid again.
Mahalo!
So glad you liked them!! Thanks for stopping by Jenni!
No need to cool down coconut oil, you can use it in its liquid form, it makes no difference in the cookies.
I like to cool a little bit so the egg doesn’t cook when you add it! Thanks Sylvie!
These cookies are really good and super easy to make. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
These cookies were awesome! Very easy to make and the whole family really enjoyed!! Thank you for great recipe!
Had a stressful afternoon and decided to make these cookies in an attemp to help me feel better. They turned out great! Enjoying one with a cup of coffee and feeling much less stressed š This is a good one for the kids to help with too! Thanks for the great recipe Kristy!!
Cookies always make my day better! Glad you liked them!! Thanks Breezy, hope you guys are well!
I just had to comment that these turned out delicious! I’ve used coconut oil on my hair and skin for years, but I am just now starting to incorporate it in to my cooking and baking. I was surprised by how good these were. My brother even enjoyed them and he rarely eats sweets! Thanks for sharing this recipe, it’s definitely going on my list of go-to cookie recipes!
I made these and substituted coconut palm sugar for the brown sugar and added 1/2 c raisins and 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts. I used a tablespoon to dole them out and was able to get 4 dozen small cookies š
So delicious, big hit with everyone!!
I just made these and they are awesome! I don’t own a stand mixer so I just used a spoon and my hands to mix and form the dough. Turned out perfect ^_^ thanks for sharing this!
What a wonderful cookie these are! Very soft, and decedent. Wonderful flavor! I will be making more of these, as well a a cupcake version. š
Ooh a cupcake version!! love it!
I just made these with white whole wheat flour! I had to add about 2 tablespoons of milk to make it into dough but they turned out GREAT!! Easy and delicious recipe! Thanks š

I think you can opt out in the emails your receive…I’ll see if I can on my end!
These sound great! Wondering if your able to use cookie cutters to cut out shapes before baking?
Maybe if you chill the dough a little first!!
I wanted to say these cookies are amazing I made a batch last night but I added 1/2 a cup of sweetened shredded coconut to it an my husband ate them all making more to give as Christmas treats today
So glad you guys like them!! thanks Deanna!
Just made these with my kids and they are absolutely fabulous!!! Thank you for the easy to follow recipe!
So glad you liked them Rishawna!!
Made the cookies just now, not sure if I molded mine too big but my yield was 12 cookies rather than 18 cookies. They came out 3 shades darker than the ones in the picture. Aside from these differences, this cookie recipe is delicious! I made your other recipe for my family that came over from New York, and they loved them! I gave you all the credit so don’t worry. Thank for this recipe!
Has anyone tried to make these into shapes for kids? Would like to know if they turned out well? Thanks in advance!
I haven’t tried it tiffany but I think it would totally work!!
My 3 year old wanted to make cookies today but we were low on butter and out of chocolate chips, so I was searching for a coconut oil cookie recipe and stumbled upon this one and I am so glad I did. These were easy to make and turned out DELICIOUS! I’m planning to add these to the Christmas cookie list. Thanks for the great recipe!
Oh I’m so glad you liked them!! They’re so easy!
I hate to be a negative nelly but I found these cookies very disappointing. I made them late at night when I had a seeet craving and was in my pyjamas. Thank goodness they were just for me … I would have been embarrassed to serve them to anyone. They looked terrible and the taste was meh… I added extra cinnamon and nutmeg and cloves…still very boring.. thumbs down
Wtf is a cookie dough scoop ??
Hi, just made a batch and it’s delicious. Not sure how it’s ment to be texture wise but mine was gooey and crunchy at the same time. Loved doing it with coconut oil, as you get the option to have the coconut flavor or unflavored. I added some fresh ginger and tumiric past, paired very well with the cinnamon. Sweet & Spicy. Making a second batch tomorrow.

Yes, love how they are a little chewy and gooey! So glad you liked them!
Made these Almost exactly like recipe but also used coconut palm sugar. Mixed w a spoon and had to add a very little almond milk at the end for they were too dry. I ate 6 and my husband was beside himself over them! Added a few chopped walnuts because had some And melted the oil.
I made these with THC-infused coconut oil. Got me high AF. Delicious!
Same, lit af
I made these cookies tonight and found them rustic and warming. I think they would go fantastically fresh out of the oven with a cup of coffee.
The top is very fragile while the bottom of the cookie is slightly caramelized and chewy. Very delightful.
The brown sugar makes a course texture that speaks of homemade, like I said, rustic and warming. Cozy! I might try later with bakers sugar to see what happens to the texture and flavor!
I would recommend adding the dry ingredients to the wet in a few installments. I had some clumping adding all at the same time.
I forgot to rate… 4.5 stars!!
Made these while in lockdown in Australia – I donāt have any butter and canāt get to the store so did a search for ācoconut oil cookiesā and came across your recipe. Absolutely delicious and the instructions are spot on! Many thanks. šš»
oh i’m so glad!
THESE ARE AMAZING!!!! I never comment on food blogs, whether good or bad, but my kids and I have spent our lockdown baking our way through searching for the perfect cookie. This. Is. It.
Thank you.
Can regular granulated sugar be used successfully instead of brown sugar? We are in stay at home ordet.
I just made these and they are FANTASTIC! Iāve baked with coconut oil quite a bit. I love using it to make chocolate chip cookies. But these are hands down amazebells! Definitely having this as our new āhouse cookieā. My 7 year old son is over the moon about these! I should have tripled the recipe cause I think these wonāt last past today!
I just made these, and they are a great simple cookie! I used a mix of sugars (dark muscavado, Demerara, coconut sugar) to great affect. I think I will add a bit more salt (my pinch was too small I think).
