What do you do when you want a chewy, flavorful cookie packed with yummy ingredients?  You make these easy cookies and share some with a friend, that's what! These little treats look so decadent and gourmet thanks to the chocolate chip chunks and coconut flakes. What a simple way to dress up a standard oatmeal cookie.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup whole wheat flour (I use white)
3/4 cup sugar (I like to use organic cane sugar)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1-2 tsp cinnamon (depending on your preference)
3/4 cup oil
2 eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup chocolate chip chunks
raw, unsweetened coconut flakes for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 360 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients by hand, preferably with a whisk. Add the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix well with a large spoon. Add the chocolate chip chunks and mix once more. Using a cookie scoop or your hands, form 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheets, leaving ample space around. To make the cookies extra pretty, make sure each ball has at least one chocolate chip visible on the top, and if not, poke in a chip with your finger. Sprinkle the coconut flakes liberally over each cookie ball. Bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are set and edges are golden.
