RECIPE: Chocolate Chip, Walnut, and Coconut Cookies

 

I had the most random craving this week (and no, I'm not pregnant!). I wanted a chocolate chip cookie...but with walnuts and coconut too.

 

Weird, right?

 

I had all the ingredients in the pantry and I turned to my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe for help.

 

CHOCOLATE CHIP, WALNUT, and COCONUT COOKIES

 

1 cup BUTTER, softened

1 cup WHITE SUGAR

1 cup packed BROWN SUGAR

2 EGGS

2 teaspoons VANILLA

3 cups ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR

1 teaspoon BAKING SODA

2 teaspoons HOT WATER

1/2 teaspoon SALT

1 cup SEMI SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS

 

1/2 cup flake coconut

 

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

 

STEP 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

 

STEP 2: Cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Dissolve baking soda in hot water. Add to batter along with salt. Stir in flour, chocolate chips, coconut, and walnuts. Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased pans. ( I used my cookie scoop)

 

STEP 3: Bake for 8-10 minutes or lightly brown. Let cool on cooling rack.

 

Enjoy:)
