Chewy Coconut and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Nothing beats a chewy chocolate chip cookie and a glass a cold milk, right? How about a one that also has coconut? If you love coconut like me, you are going to love these super soft and flavorful chewy coconut and chocolate chip cookies I made last week. I ate way too many of them, but I figure I had to really test them out before sharing them with you. (Over and over and over again…cough). I was inspired by this award winning recipe and loved the idea of incorporating pudding mix. It is always a quick and easy way to add a lot of flavor to any recipe and this one is no exception. But why go with just vanilla pudding, when I could could go with coconut cream pudding? Oh yeah.  So I also halved the recipe,  skipped the nuts, added in come coconut, changed the brown and white sugar ratio and ‘viola! —- Chewy Coconut and Chocolate Chip Cookies were born.

You’re welcome.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies

Normally I prefer a chocolate chip cookie that uses shortening like this best chocolate chip cookie recipe, but the pudding mix does wonders to keep this cookie from spreading out too thin.
