Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

By srumbel

We love coconut at our house, so these coconut chocolate chip cookies were a huge hit. The coconut extract adds great flavor, so don’t leave it out. Next time I might try toasting the coconut first. Because I love coconut, but I’m crazy about toasted coconut. So dang yummy! Hope you like ’em.
