All you need is my favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe and add 1 cup coconut flakes to the dough. You may add more than 1 cup, according to your liking.

Coconut-Choco Cookies

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups butter or margarine, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 eggs
4 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3-4 cups chocolate chips (The recipe calls for 4 cups but I just didn't have the guts to add 4 cups of chocolate chips..... 3 cups was quite enough for me...)
1 cup coconut flakes

Direction:

Heat oven to 375 degrees F. In large bowl, mix butter, sugars, vanilla, and eggs with spoon. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in chocolate chip and coconut.

On ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by level 1/4 cupfuls about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with fork.

Bake 12-15 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool slightly. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool.

(The coconut flakes tend to keep the cookies' shape better.)

Seriously, they were perfect goodies for everyone.
