Coconut Flour Substitution

If you don’t have coconut flour, substitute 2 cups of flour + ½ cup cake flour or 2 ½ cups flour, but I’m all about the coconut flour in them.

Coconut is the best!  You’ll love these Best Coconut Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies and this Magnolia Bakery’s Coconut Layer Cake!

I have 2 secret weapons I use in these cookies to get the soft-batch texture.

• 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and 1/3 cup of coconut flour makes these super-duper and helps to make them super soft and not cakey. The edges are slightly chewy, and the thick middle of the cookies are tender, moist and delicious.
• Coconut flour is great to blend in with all-purpose flour or really any flour. It’s like a thickening agent that is wonderful to use in thickening soups, gravies and of course, cookies.
• I find this blend of coconut flour and all-purpose flour just gives these oatmeal cookies a fluffy, chewy texture that is exceptional.  I can’t explain it any better, except it just does, what it does.  Baking science magic!
• Of course, if you don’t have 1/3 cup of coconut flour, you can substitute 1/2 cup cake flour in the flour blend.

Add-In Cookie Options

• Of course, if you’re turning your nose up in the air to the raisins, leave ’em out.  Or leave the raisins in and add in some dark chocolate chips or just add chocolate chips or m&m’s or whatever you want to add.  Butterscotch chips are always a winner for sure!
• As long as you have the base recipe, you can go literally nuts, which is another option!  Add some walnuts or pistachios for some crunch, switch out the raisins for dried cranberries or dried cherries.
• And for holidays, white chocolate.  Every version you can come up with is going to taste amazing!
• If you love chocolate covered raisins, you will absolutely rave over when you taste these Soft-Batch Buttery Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with chocolate chips!  It will remind you of Raisinets or Brach’s Chocolate Covered Raisins.  I know this yummy treat well because I get cravings for them from time to time and when I indulge, I end up eating a whole bag or box. Can’t stop!
