Coconut and Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've been in a cookie baking frenzy lately. It could be the upcoming family gatherings that are planned, and yes I admit, it's my sugar craving.

I like homemade desserts and sweets. So I'm happy to be baking cookies and cakes and I usually make extra for us to snack on with our tea and coffee.

We have also been enjoying coconut lately so I decided to add it to my cookies. They were very yummy!

This is a very easy recipe I found on all recipes.com which I adapted for my cookies.

Coconut and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1/4 cup flaked coconut
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven 350 degrees.
2. Combine dry ingredients in small bowl and set aside.
3. In medium bowl cream the butter and both sugars until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla until light and fluffy.
4. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until blended and stir in the coconut and chocolate chips.
5. Use a medium cookie scoop and drop onto a parchment lined cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
6. Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
7. Cool on wire racks.

Sugar glaze the cookies, this is the best part -- if you love coconut. 

If you don't like the coconut, just omit it from the recipe and make a chocolate ganache topping.   They will be just as yummy -- I mean delicious!  I forget I'm grammy when I eat cookies.
