coconut chocolate chip cookies

my oldest sister sent these to me raving about them. i have been excited to try them but i haven't had a chance. this weekend, one of my besties (the ever talented rachel thurston of rachel thurston photography) was in town, and we were gonna have a bonfire weenie roast, but with all the torrential downpours we've been having, we got rained out. so i decided to make some cookies to help make up for it and these were the perfect pinch hitters! we all love coconut and chocolate and cookies so it only made sense to make these, cause they are LOADED with coconut.

1 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar

Wow Caroline! Visiting your blog late at night on an empty stomach might not be the best idea! I have a sudden urge to go bake several dozen chocolate chip cookies! Terrific recipes and wonderful photos!
You and your mom are "two peas in a pod" (or Two chocolate chips in a bag!).
I'll be checking regularly!
Best Wishes, Vicki Jones
