Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, both sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until evenly blended.
Add the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and water. Stir until the mixture begins to come together.
Mix in the shredded coconut. The dough should be slightly crumbly but hold its shape when pressed. If it feels too dry, add an extra tablespoon of water.
Scoop portions of about 1½ tablespoons (around 30 g), roll into balls, place on the tray, and gently flatten using the bottom of a cup.
Bake for 10–13 minutes, until the edges are golden. Bake for 10 minutes for a softer cookie or 13 minutes for a crispier texture.
If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it holds together.
For a more intense coconut flavor, lightly toast the shredded coconut before mixing it into the dough.
Store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain their texture and freshness.
Can I use a different type of oil instead of coconut oil?
Yes, you can substitute coconut oil with another neutral-flavored oil, but it may slightly alter the flavor and texture.
Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Yes, you can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend to make these cookies gluten-free.
How should I store these cookies?
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Yes, you can freeze the cookie dough balls and bake them directly from frozen. Just add a couple of minutes to the baking time.
Can I reduce the sugar in this recipe?
You can reduce the sugar slightly, but it may affect the texture and sweetness of the cookies.
