~*~Dream Cookies~*~

A fun twist on classic chocolate chip cookies.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Yield: 2-3 Dozen 2" cookies

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla or almond extract

1 cup butter or shortening

1 bag chocolate chips

1 bag shaved coconut

Step 1: Prep the Batter!

Preheat the oven to 350. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugars until creamy. Beat in the eggs. Add the baking soda, salt, and vanilla and mix thoroughly. With a wooden spoon mix in the flour until the batter is think. Fold in the chocolate chips and coconut. I usually use 1/2 a bag of both. For a sweeter option, add the entire bag of chips and roll balls of dough in the coconut flakes.

Step 2: Bake!

On an ungreased cookie sheet, drop the batter into 1" balls about 1/2" apart. Bake on the bottom oven rake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.

Step 3: Enjoy!
