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.
