Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Wednesday, November 23, 2011
I love coconut and chocolate and these cookies are two of the best ingredients and make best the perfect combinations of flavor.

This cookie is a simple chocolate chip cookie with coconut two of my favorite ingredient combinations and a flavorful cookie treat.

The coconut is toasted to bring a crunchy delicious addition and easy to do in the microwave with our instructions below, but be careful to watch closely not to burn it!

Chocolate chips whether milk, semi-sweet or even another flavor white, or butterscotch chips are all a nice change also.

If you want to add nuts, this cookie is very basic and versatile just add around 1/2 cup of toasted almonds, pistachios,or whatever nuts you prefer.
