Choconut Chip Cookies

Chocolate, Chocolate Chips and Coconut. YUM. Some of my favorite things. I was on the phone with my husband and gave him the option of Nutella cookies or the Choconut Cookies...he asked of course what the Choconut was and I happily informed him of the marriage of chocolate chips, and coconut. He was sold. But don't fear- next week I'll have the Nutella cookies a rolling!! Oh and these are originally a blonde coloring- but I had this cocoa from King Arthur (double dutch!) and HAD to toss it into something this week!
