Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Hello!  How are you?  I hope wonderful!  I have not been visiting you lately, and I apologize.  I had allergies which brought me down for 2 weeks.  I am always coming back to you because I miss you and I love connecting and sharing my recipes.  Hope you enjoy these.  The coconut makes these cookies oh so special!  Come on, Let’s Have Some Fun!

2 cups flaked coconut – baked in a preheated 350 degree oven, on a single layer sided cookie sheet for 7 minutes.  Trust me, watch it for 7 minutes, that is all it is going to take.  Remove from the oven and let cool while you assemble the rest of the ingredients.

Mix in a bowl
1 stick of butter room temperature, I use salted, I make my own rules on the salted butter issue.
1 ¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large room temperature eggs
Mix well and then add;
2 cups of flour
2 cups of the toasted coconut
1 cup of toasted chopped pecans
10 ounces of semi- sweet chocolate chips

Line a sided cookie sheet with parchment paper and place in round balls 2 inches apart.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.  Makes approximately 50 cookies!  Enjoy! 
I bet you cannot eat just one!
