Chocolate Coconut and White Chocolate Chip Cookies

I keep thinking today is Friday.

Erg.

But, I guess when you're a stay at home mom weekends aren't much different than the week. I just like the sound of them I suppose...

In celebration of the "weekend" I made cookies. I love making cookies. I love eating the dough, my husband loves eating the actual cookies. It's perfect. 

These cookies are wonderful- you will love them- if you love coconut. I never understood non coconut lovers...

You can totally make these without coconut stuff in them though, and I guarantee you will still adore them.

Pre-heat oven to 350.

1 Cup (to sticks butter, softened)
