I have been so excited to post this cookie recipe. It is by far one of my very favorite chocolate chip cookie recipes. The taste and texture is better than any I’ve tried. No more paper flat cookies!
My adorable sister Kim, who I have a zillion nicknames for, such as: Kammon, Kammy and Snitchy, has developed this winning cookie recipe, using none other than coconut oil in place of the butter. You’d think these cookies would taste like coconut, but they really don’t, just the slightest hint of coconut without any shavings. If she wouldn’t have told me, I would never have guessed.
Not only does it make an incredible cookie, but my sister has researched coconut oil and it has some major health benefits. Google it if you’re interested.
I bought my coconut oil from Sprouts here in AZ, but I’m assuming any Whole Foods, Trader Joes, AJ’s Fine Foods will also carry it. You can google it and find places online to order it as well.
I promise you, you will not be disappointed in these. They are fantastic! I can’t wait to try substituting coconut oil in my brownies and chocolate cupcakes. My sis said it makes the BEST brownies, that will be next on my “to make” list! Thanks Kimmy! I am so lucky to have such a beautiful, talented and hilarious sister, Love you cutie!
