Small Recipes...Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies


  This is supposed to be a small recipe from Taste of Home Cooking for One or Two!  I halved the recipe and got 8 large cookies.  Next time I will probably bake 4 in my toaster oven and freeze 4 dough balls to freeze and bake another day.
They spread a lot, so I would suggest baking on two quarter sheet pans or at least a 15” cookie sheet for all 8 of them.  I used a rounded size 50 scoop.
 I used an egg yolk instead of a half egg…my husband loves Coconut Macaroons, and I make them with egg whites left from other recipes; I’ll make some in a day or two, as the white keeps refrigerated several days.  When possible, this is how I cut a recipe that uses a half egg…much easier and no measuring and I actually have a use for the egg white that’s left.
There will be a next time…they are crisp and delicious and we had a hard time not eating them up in a day!
Top:  Creamed butter, sugar and egg yolk; dry ingredients in sifter.  
Cookies are actually too close together on the pan!

    I even put coconut in my no-bake chocolate hay stack cookies.

    1. We have had them again...we thought they were just right. I have also subbed in raisins for the chips for my husband, the not-so-much chocolate guy.
