Coconut Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Prepare your wallet and your tongue for these delicious little beasts. Coconut oil is not cheap but it is oh so delicious. Wait…neither is chocolate. You can’t get out of the grocery store these days without giving them an arm or a leg.
A disclaimer here. These are not easy on your waistline either. Don’t blame me. I let you know ahead of time.
My family, all coconut lovers, thought these were delish. In fact my waist did ok because there wasn’t much left for the woman that did all the hard work! I love feeding my family though. They’re precious.
Enjoy.
Blessings and love sent your way!
