Cocoa Nib Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

These cocoa nib coconut oatmeal cookies are packed full of flavor!

I made these cookies about a week ago and couldn’t stop eating the batter. I know I know. Raw egg. However, I can’t stop myself. Batter is so delicious. Don’t you agree? Mmmmm….batter. 

Now, until I made these cookies I had never had cocoa nibs. These things are rocking my world. They are nutty and chocolaty at the same time. It’s the perfect crunchy combination. I paired these cookies with a little toasted coconut and used some whole wheat flour to help make them a little healthier. It’s my way of justifying eating cookies for breakfast.

Gonna try this soon, I have a big bag of nibs, glad I found site… but one question. Is it apple cider the drink or apple cider vinegar?

I replaced half the butter with coconut oil. Next batch im going to try Stevia or agave instead of sugar. They're lovely. I used apple cider vinegar which stops you eating the dough but is indiscernible on the finished cookie. Lovely!

OMG! I just made a batch of these and They are the best oatmeal cookies I have made in a very long time. I added about a tbsp more sugar because the vinegar taste in the raw dough made me nervous, Andy I added half chocolate chips and haft cacao nibs because I did not have enough nibs. The only thing I have to say is that a 3 tbsp cookie scoop is way to big unless you want huge cookies. I used my smallest one that's about 1 tbsp and they where still big cookies
