Coconut White Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Updated March 26, 2019
Last weekend we finished building our patio and backyard fence. I say we, but Josh did most of the work. I helped with little things, but Josh didn’t want me lifting or getting too exhausted. He is very protective of his pregnant wife and baby:) So I spent most of the day in the kitchen. I wanted to contribute in some way so I baked Coconut White Chocolate Chunk Cookies. Josh deserved a treat after all of his hard work.
These cookies are super soft because I added Coconut Creme pudding mix to the dough. I know, I am obsessed with pudding cookies. I can’t help it. I love the texture the pudding adds. I also stirred in coconut and white chocolate chunks. These cookies are sweet and summery! I always enjoy coconut and white chocolate together and the combination is heavenly in these cookies.
Josh was thrilled to come inside to a plate of warm cookies and a glass of cold milk. I am glad my cookie contribution made his day better. I will post pictures of our patio soon. We still need to plant flowers and shrubs, but it keeps raining. I am hoping these Coconut White Chocolate Chunk Cookies will help bring us some summer sun:)

These look awesome. White chocolate and coconut are an amazing combo. And how cool that it uses a pudding mix.
I am a big fan of white chocolate cookies! So good.
how do you get your cookies to turn out so perfect round every single time? they’re the prettiest ones i’ve ever seen!
I have lots of practice making cookies:) Thanks!
Sounds like a great combination and cookie!
You got the best job, anyway! I love both white chocolate and coconut so I know I’d love these! I bet they’d be awesome with a little orange zest!!
This looks great! I have to bring a “tropical” dessert to a picnic this weekend, so I’m going to add some lime zest and chopped macadamia nuts to this too. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
Mouthwatering cookies! A lovely combination.
Cheers,
Rosa
Your cookies always look the best, Maria!! Yum!
Thanks Lesley!
I love coconut in cookies, it seems to make them more chewy and the more chewy, the better for me 🙂
Coconut and white chocolate really is the best combination ever. I haven’t tried pudding cookies yet, but this sounds like the perfect opportunity!
How do you like your beater blade? I really want to get one but I want to know it works before I spend $20 on a single-purpose kitchen item.
I LOVE my beater blade. I use it all of the time. I think it is worth it:)
I love the combo of white chocolate and coconut! What a lovely, creative cookie. Great job!
I don’t know that I’ve seen coconut pudding before, not that I’ve looked for it. What a smart idea adding it to cookies! Coconut is one of my favorite flavors!
Wow. What is there not to like, pudding, coconut, white chocolate. Ok, heading to the store now. Thanks
pudding cookies really are the best – they’re SO soft! We love them.
I love coconut and white chocolate together. i’m going to have to try these soon.
White chocolate and coconut are a great combination and I love soft cookies, I will have to look for that pudding mix and give these a try!
Maria these look amazing! I love that you added a box of Jello pudding mix (bet that makes them so delish and moist) and I love white choc!!!
They look and sound fantastic!! Love that Josh is so protective of his sweet wife! 🙂
I haven’t tried pudding in cookies yet. They look scrumptious.
Coconut and white chocolate? Yes, please!!
love all your cookie recipes! white chocolate and coconut are a match made in heaven 🙂
These look amazing!!
Coconut & white chocolate is always a great pairing 🙂 xo
This would be the BEST prize after a day of heavy lifting! I love the idea of a coconut/white chocolate combo!
Yum- I love the addition of pudding. This cookie would be fantastic on vacation, washed down with a pina colada (virgin)!
I bet he was SO grateful to come into the house and find these babies! Coconut Creme pudding mix? What a great add in. Can’t wait to see the patio 🙂 We’re thinking of trying to put in a screened in porch before the baby comes…clock is ticking 😉
You always have the best looking cookie recipes! You really need to write a cookie cookbook. 🙂
Pudding cookies are amazing, I couldn’t agree more. Smart thinking using coconut creme- can’t wait to try these!
My husband is having a minor surgery on Monday so I’m going to make these this weekend so I have a good stash of treats to feed him while he’s recovering next week! I also know these will be a big hit at work, so I may have to make a double batch. 🙂
Coconut and white chocolate sounds awesome, I’ve only ever put the two together in a carrot cake (white chocolate frosting) but that doesn’t count. And your husband is a lucky guy. I would build an entire house, with my bare hands, for someone willing to bake me cookies…sure it might be a bit lopsided…. and made out of lego, but it’s the thought right?
They look wonderful, a well-deserved post-patio treat!
What a sweet husband, and I can’t wait to see the patio!
I haven’t put pudding in cookies for a few years, but not sure why, because they were always good. Love these with coconut. I didn’t even know there was a coconut pudding.
White chocolate and coconut sounds like a very yummy combination! 🙂
my mouth is officially watering!
My brain turned the title into a mini tongue twister – so many c’s 😉 Love all of the white and summery aspects – so fun!
Oh how I love coconut and white chocolate together. I definitely agree that this is a summer cookie. We should all bake some so summer can arrive quicker!
These look great and a bit tropical!
mmmm, looks good
I made some yummy coconut cupcakes for the bake sale this past weekend but couldn’t figure out how to use the rest of the coconut. Problem solved!
Yum, white chocolate and coconut are so good together!
I’ve never had pudding cookies, this sounds interesting! Will have to try them, the cookies look great 🙂
Even just looking at these pictures makes my tastebuds tingle. I am convinced these are delicious!
That “napkin” looks a lot like the fat quarter I just bought. If it is indeed a fat quarter (you may already know this but I thought I’d share anyway) They are on sale for $1.29 this week at JoAnns which mean I can buy more than one at a time because I don’t have to use a 40% off coupon. If you have no idea what I’m talking about. I apologize and instead I’ll just say, those cookies look heavenly. I wonder if strangers would buy them at a garage sale?
I do know what you are talking about. Thanks for the heads up on the sale:)
I was so inspired by these delicious-looking cookies, and by the idea of PUDDING COOKIES OMG, that I went directly to my kitchen to make my own! My version: Chocolate Moose Tracks Cookies (recipe available on my blog). Thanks for inspiring me! You’re awesome!!! 🙂
Glad you were inspired! Love your cookie recipe!
I would say that making cookies sounds way better than manual labor outside.
What IS manual labor outside, anyways?
Can’t wait to see the patio!!
I know these would be a hit at our house, my husband loves coconut. Now if I could just get him to build me a patio!
These cookies look heavenly! I just put the ingrediants on my grocery list! I want to make them for church soon! Thanks so much!
Mmmm these look so good! I am a sucker for any cookie with chocolate.
Hey Maria! Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! I got inspired and made a batch containing some lemon juice and a tiny bit of grated lemon cest. Perfect with the high sweetness from the coconut and white chocolate. SO good. Everyone loved them 🙂 Try it!
Love, Maria
I bet the lemon was wonderful in these cookies! Glad you liked them!
I made these without the pudding mix because I didn’t notice it until I was in the middle of making them! I added a splash of coconut milk instead, and they got rave reviews!
Love the idea of coconut milk!
I’ve never tried making cookies with pudding mix but can only imagine how soft the cookies would as a result. I’m a huge fan of coconut, so these sound incredible, Maria!
I cant find coconut pudding! I’ve gone to a few of the local markets and have not seen them. I just want to make coconut white chocolate cookies!
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I made these today and they are FANTASTIC! I cannot recommend them enough and can’t wait to share them.
I made these for a party today and they were a hit! It was my first time using pudding in cookies, and now I am a huge fan!!
I’ve baked a LOT of cookies in my life but these are, by far, one of the best so far! I have never used a pudding mix in the dough before but am excited to try some new flavor combos using your recipe as a blueprint. Thanks so much for sharing such a wonderful recipe.
Yay! So happy you liked the cookies!
This is a WONDERFUL RECIPE! Big hit with the Boyfriend and coworkers. I had to substitute vanilla instant pudding in lieu of the coconut. I was only about to find the coconut pudding mix that was not instant had to be cooked. Does anyone know if that will work? Thanks!
Very good, I like it.
Your dish reminds me of summer more exciting scenes. I was very happy to have full friends. Thank you. If you want to know about my country and the dishes, go to: vegetarianviet.blogspot.com.
Do you think coconut oil could be subsituted for butter here? I am trying to avoid butter where i can. But these sound amazing.. Lol.
These are delicious! However the cookies became very hard after baking them. Maybe I baked them too long. Will try a smaller bake time next time & see if that helps.
