Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies

Soft, chewy, chocolatey and a hint of coconut, all in a single bite!

I find that bite size anything is almost more enjoyable. Less guilt and you can eat two for the “cost” of one. We all have our own justifications, right?

These are the perfect little cookies for a houseful of guests or kids, big or small. Make a batch (or two) of these and I can guarantee they’ll be gone before the end of the night.

To make a cookie sandwich, add a small spoonful of ice cream or fat free cool whip to the flat end of one cookie and then top with the second cookie.

For a frozen “ice cream cookie sandwich”, throw them in the freezer and voila, delish!

This recipe is adapted from Two Peas and Their Pod and in my opinion she’s the cookie queen!

  3. I love how the ingredients are all excited(!)! It adds to my enjoyment of this recipe on paper–er–screen and will further that joy upon eating them. I may add oatmeal, flax and barley…
