Vegan chocolate chip coconut cookies

When the worlds of chocolate and coconut come together magic happens. Tropical and comforting. Yes, comforting is an adjective for a flavor that only chocolate can bring on.
I made cookies that create this very magic coupling. Chocolate chip coconut cookies, or CCCC. These treats have just the right texture, slightly crispy on the outside and a wee bit of softness on the inside. There really is not much else to say about these sweeties. You are just going to have to make them for yourself to taste the magic.

I am always surprised that I actually manage to bake cookies, and not just eat the entire bowl of batter. When I pull out all the ingredients I might as well tell my boyfriend I am making cookie batter, not actual cookies. However, on this occasion I knew I was making them to share with guests. So I had no choice ;)

 How to eat em'

• Pour yourself a chilled glass of coconut milk, 
• Grab a stack of cookies (just to save yourself all those trips back and forth from the cookie jar, one is never enough, lets just come to terms with that right now) 
• Sit down,  put your feet up
• Enjoy the magical taste of chocolate and coconut in a cookie.

Made with love,
