So, we all know that I am not very adept in the kitchen, but I am very good at eating and definitely know a good recipe when I taste one. I mean, you would probably have to try to make chocolate chip cookies taste bad…but my mom’s recipe is way better than your average cookie. Lucky for all of you, I am going to share it here today.
In general, my mother is an excellent cook (this apple fell very far away from that tree), but she is an outstanding baker. Seriously, my husband had to beg her to quit dropping off baked goods because he couldn’t stop stuffing himself! The one exception to that plea was these cookies. My whole family is perfectly content to let her drop them off any time she likes (which honestly isn’t often enough, hence me making them myself!)
She says the secret to making the cookies so delicious is NOT to melt the butter. You have to set it out and wait until it is room temperature. I’m not sure why that matters, but apparently, it is the most important step.
Don’t let that cup of coconut throw you off either. They don’t have an overpowering coconut flavor, just a little something to make you say “Yum, What is that little extra?”
Listen, I made these cookies all by myself, and they are pretty dang tasty. I’m not gonna say that they are as good as my mom’s…but I bet if you mixed hers and mine in a box, you wouldn’t know the difference. 😉

Sounds delicious–I wonder if I could use gluten-free flour for this?
I’ve never really used gluten-free flour, but it wouldn’t hurt to try it, right?
I love chocolate chip cookies and so do my girls. So definitely will give your recipe a try now. Thanks 🙂
It is really hard to beat homemade chocolate chip cookies! They are just so dang delicious.
coconut flakes in chocolate chip cookies … I think I need to do my food allergy swaps and try this recipe! *drool*
They don’t bring an overwhelming coconut flavor, just a little touch of something extra. Delish!
I’m always looking for a good go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe. I’m not normally a fan of coconut, but I can see how they would add that little something extra. Definitely going to try these… maybe tomorrow:)
My husband is not a fan of coconut either, but he loves these and claims he never tastes the coconut!
These look delicious and make me excited for all the baking that is going to be taking place over the next few weeks around here! Thank you for sharing this yummy recipe!
Tis the baking season for sure!
These look amazing if not great for the waistline!
Hey! There are no calories between Thanksgiving and New Years.
