CCC Challenge: Everything Plus Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookies

I rate these cookies similar to my favorite oatmeal chocolate chip walnut cookies, but even better! Because these have coconut as well. I found this recipe from one of those health magazines that are always in the check lines of grocery stores, which got me thinking. . . is butter and chocolate good for you? Because if so, I just found my new diet! Hah. I'm definitely kidding, but it did give me a good chuckle reading this recipe in a Health magazine with a flat abbed women posted on the cover with subtitles advertising that you can eat cookies to stay slim? Well regardless and aside from all the questions about this particular magazine, I absolutely loved these cookies!

There were so many ingredients, I at first thought it might be a tad overwhelming. But indeed it was the exact opposite; each ingredient played a key roll in the taste of this cookie, and the cookie just would not have tasted nearly as good if any of the main ingredients went missing. There is something about chocolate and oatmeal that make my mouth water. And don't even get me started about the mix of a nutty chocolate with coconut! The taste of these cookies were just extraordinarily delicious and a new fave of my family's. Anyone is bound to enjoy this scrumptious little thing.
