Preheat the oven to 350℉/180℃. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper and set aside. Melt the butter and allow it to cool as you prep the rest of the ingredients.
1 cup unsalted butter
In a bowl, add the flour, oats, cocoa powder, shredded coconut, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
In another large bowl, add the melted and cooled butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Whisk to combine and set aside.
3/4 cups dark brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 cup unsalted butter
Add in the eggs and vanilla and continue whisking until smooth.
2 large eggs, 1 tbsp vanilla
Add the dry ingredients in, and with a spatula gently fold until a soft cookie dough forms. Do not over-mix!
Mix in the chocolate chips.
3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Scoop 6 cookies at a time per baking tray, spacing them evenly apart from one another. Add extra chocolate chips on top if desired.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the cookies are baked on the outside and the middles are still slightly puffy. Allow to cool, transfer to a cooling rack, and enjoy!
Notes
Butter: If you want to enhance the coconut flavour even more, you may add 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of melted coconut oil.
