Toasted Coconut Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies GF & V

One could say I have a slight oatmeal addiction, thus I’ve decided to try out multiple variations of the classic oatmeal cookie. Today I made a toasted coconut chocolate chunk variation and I must say, they turned out phenomenal! Even my Dad liked them and that says a lot!

Hope you enjoy them as much as my family did.
