Choc Chip Coconut Cookies and Milk

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened

1 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 cups sweetened flaked coconut

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 375F degrees.

Combine the flour, salt and baking powder.  You don't have to sift together like I did.  Can't really tell you why I sifted it together but it didn't hurt.

In a separate mixing bowl, cream the butter, brown and granulated sugar together

Add each egg one at time, making sure to combine well before adding the other

Add the vanilla and combine

Slowly add the flour

Add the chocolate chips (I didn't have enough chocolate chips so I also had to add some mint choc. chips which is why you see some green ones).  Manually combine into the mixture

Finally add the coconut, manually stir in with spatula, combine well.

Using a tablespoon, scoop and place on ungreased cookie sheet.  

Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are a golden brown

Carefully place on wire rack to cool

They're ready to eat anytime with a tall glass of cold milk!  Enjoy!
