These chocolate chip cookies may be some of the most addicting cookies I’ve ever eaten. When you first read the recipe you may think that they just sound weird and not that appetizing, but no lie, these cookies are so flippin good. The first time I made them I may have eaten 5 of them in one sitting, and then at least 3/4 of the batch within the next few days. So obviously I can’t make them that often.
The thing I love the most about these chocolate chip cookies is the perfect mixture of consistency and flavor. I’m pretty sure it’s the coconut flakes that gives it its yummy taste, and the corn flakes and oatmeal that give it its perfect consistency. (Which I know most people might think that sounds weird because a nice soft cookie is usually what they want) AND I am that person who usually loves a nice soft cookie, until, I tried these bad boys. Another thing that you need to know about these cookies is how well the coconut flakes blend in with the rest of the ingredients. My husband hates coconut flakes, but he LOVES these cookies. Really the flakes of coconut are pretty necessary to make this cookie perfect. I know this because I’ve tried making them without the coconute and they just weren’t the same.
Alright, the last thing I need you to know about these cookies is how delicious they are when they are frozen. Yes they are super good right out of the oven, but Oh my goodness are they good when you freeze them. I had made them at my mom’s and she froze some to keep them good for longer. I pulled one out of the freezer and ate it, and now I always freeze these cookies when I make them. I actually call them frozen cookies when I talk about them with my husband. You can always eat a bunch of them right out of the oven, and then put a few in a bag to freeze just to try it out. I’m pretty sure you wont regret it.
Well all I have left to say is if you’re looking for the most perfect chocolate chip cookie, then you seriously need to give these cookies a shot. If you’re not pleased, then I’m sorry, but it won’t change my opinion on how much I love these coconut chocolate chip crunch cookies.
