3 cups all purpose flour
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup shredded coconut

1. preheat oven to 350.
2. cream together butter, white sugar & brown sugar until smooth.
3. beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla and coconut extract.
4. dissolve baking soda and salt in hot water and add to dough. mix thoroughly.
5. stir in flour.

I adore coconut and am drooling at these; sadly, about half of my family hate coconut so I don't get to bake with it as much as I would like. Chocolate and coconut is an awesome combo!

I love coconut and chocolate together. I wonder if I can just use coconut butter instead of coconut extract?
