I made our clean eating cookie dough (pictured below), but the kids wanted actual cookies. I modified the recipe a bit and it resulted in these jumbo coconut chocolate chip cookies. I love cookies that are crispy on the outside but doughy and fluffy on the inside. These cookies are exactly that and there's no shortage of flavor between the coconut and chocolate chips. I think i'd make them again with toasted almonds too!
