Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies Tips
Add different chocolate chips if you like, or mix it up with milk chocolate and regular chocolate. You could even take a bar o chocolate and chop it into chunks if you prefer.
These cookies have so much coconut in them that they are a bit stiff. This means that they don’t really spread when they are baking. Make sure you flatten them with your palm before cooking so that they cook evenly.
This recipe uses unsweetened shredded coconut, if you want to use sweetened, tone down the white sugar in the cookie recipe to a quarter cup to compensate.
