White Chocolate Chip Chocolate Coconut Cookies
Do you just ever crave a cookie? A soft, homemade, fresh from the oven cookie? I do, and pretty often. I haven’t made any cookies in a quite a while though. Our last desert, which is still in the fridge was Prince William’s chocolate fridge cake. I used all my butter in that recipe, and haven’t got around to picking up any more at the grocery store. Since we’re on a stricter student budget for the summer as my husband finishes up his internships, I scrounge around in the pantry for what I can use. In the back of the pantry, I spotted some virgin coconut oil, and beside that, coconut flakes. I instantly knew exactly what I must make today, a white chocolate chip chocolate coconut cookie. It’s got my two favorite ingredients, chocolate and coconut, together, in one perfect cookie.
You can easily leave the coconut out of these cookies by using butter instead of coconut oil and omitting the shredded coconut flakes.
