Coconut Dream Cookies

Coconut Dream Cookies

After making a lovely coconut cream pie, I had some coconut left and thought I should put it to good use in cookies.  I added some oats and chocolate chips of course and voila a very tasty cookie.  They are so good, I can’t stop eating them, I need an intervention or something.  These would be a really great Valentine’s treat or just perfect for days like today when you have extra coconut nagging at you to be baked.

Cooking Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large mixing bowl add butter, vegetable oil and eggs.  Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.  Add sugars and vanilla, beating until well combined.  Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, coconut, and oats, beat until combined.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Using a medium size cookie scoop or rounded tablespoon, drop onto a greased or lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.  Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet before moving to a wire rack to cool.
