Beside chocolate and cheese in creamy cheesecake, chocolate and coconut is one of my top favorite combo. And I’ve heard is one of your favorite combo as well.
One of my favorite candy bars is Mounds (or Bounty as we European are used to). I love the packed coconut covered with a this layer of chocolate.
I’ve made my own mounds bars few times (they didn’t turn out pretty, but so so delicious) and now I’m working on a new coconut recipe, still needs a little tweaking.
But until then I give you chewy chocolate chip coconut cookies.
I’ve made these cookies a while back, right after I made the Fudgy Brownies with Candy Cane Frosting and hubby said these are the cookies Santa will leave all the gifts at our house if I make him few dozens to take back to North Pole.
Coming from my picky husband, that says a lot. I knew these cookies are a keeper and just perfect for the second week in our 12 weeks of Christmas treats hosted by Brenda of Meal Planning Magic
These cookies are packed with unsweetened shredded coconut and semi-sweet chocolate chip.
They don’t need lots of work to put together. Cream the butter and sugar, add the rest of the ingredients, chill while the oven is heated and bake.
Get a tall glass of cold milk and enjoy.
That’s all it takes to make these irresistible chewy chocolate chip coconut cookies.
Yields about 2 dozens
