Coconut Crunch Cookies

Submitted by Bonnie G #2

"Found this in my Taste of Home magazine. As I love both coconut and chocolate, I thought I'd post it here to save for when I start my holiday baking. The recipe states these are a sweet drop cookie and loaded with coconut and chocolate chips. Their crisp edges and soft centers add up to a perfect treat. Sounds good to me!"

What a good cookie! I made them for hubby's work and alot of people wanted the recipe. We love our coconut here in Hawaii and this was a great way to eat it. Made for Zaar's Newest Star Tag Game 2012.

My mother made this recipe a few weeks ago and I have been trying to replicate it since. I needed to put in 1/4 c. more flour and a slightly heaping tsp. of baking soda before they rose enough. I think these are awesome cookies and will probably be a new family favorite.
