I had one of these cookies at Paradise Bakery, and when I got home I started working on my own version!

A plate of Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Funny story... when making the dough, it was dry and a lot of coconut. We thought this may be a cookie fail. Oh boy, were we pleasantly surprised once we took a bite of these coconut chocolate chip cookies. The outside tastes like toasted coconut, and the edges even get a little crisp. Inside, though, it's nice and gooey. These cookies don't spread much, so place the cookie how you want it to bake. This cookie is a coconut lover's dream!
