Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies (Cookie Jar Project Week 3)

Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
(Cookie Jar Project Week 3)

This week, I take a page from Pichet Ong's cookbook, "The Sweet Spot." I've baked out of that cookbook before and decided to revisit his Asian flavors again this week. Ong's cookbook helps the avid baker along tremendously by providing weight measurements for the ingredients.

This recipe came out wonderfully. The unsweetened coconut is toasted and then creamed with the butter. The natural oils in the coconut blend with the butter and perfume the whole cookie. A good, tightly-wrapped chilling (overnight) of the dough intensifies the flavor. You don't have to taste these cookies to know that they contain coconut (you certainly can't see the coconut). One whiff of these puppies and you'll SMELL the coconut.

These cookies are a brown sugar-granulated sugar blend and therefore, are of the crispier variety.
