Sweet Sundays? I'm going with it :-)
S wanted something asian-ish for dinner tonight so we had baked sweet and sour chicken with (brown) fried rice. Mostly healthy except for the sauce on the chicken!
My sweet tooth kicked in after dinner so I decided to make some cookies, and man am I glad I did! I tried a Pinterest recipe for coconut chocolate chip cookies, but I modified it based on what I had in my pantry. I only had about 6 oz. of mini chocolate chips (which was MORE than plenty by the way!) and I added about 3/4 C of old fashioned oats. I would say I used about 1 1/2 C of shredded coconut too.
As usual I am ahead of myself here, because I forgot to tell you why I am so dang excited about these cookies. There's no butter! They're made with coconut oil! I hear that some coconut oil has no scent or flavor. Mine does, but I love coconut so I'm ok with it. I find coconut is pretty good in just about any sweets recipe, but it would be nice to use some that doesn't impart its flavor for you crazies who don't like coconut ;-) I also portioned them by about a heaping tablespoon and they took about 12 minutes to cook :-)
