It was a rainy day and I wasn't looking forward to another game of Candyland so I suggested making cookies. My children happily agreed and away we went. The coconut, chocolate chip and almond combination were fantastic together - they reminded me of an Almond Joy candy bar. These cookies were gooey, soft, sweet, salty and crunchy. I was in heaven, my children, my husband and my neighbor all loved them too. Don't forget to dip them in ice cold milk but I must warn you - they are addictive! Thanks to my neighbor, Cheryl, who just gave me a wonderful cookie recipe book... it inspired me to create these cookies.
