COCONUT OIL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES




COCONUT OIL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

These very large cookies have a fantastic texture straight out of the refrigerator! I loved these cookies!  Typically gelatin is not required in my cookie recipes.  If I don't use it, you don't need to either.  I do love gelatin for what it does for my weak nails and apparently it is good for the skin as well, repairing sun damage.

I love what coconut oil does for these cookies!  They have a fabulous texture completely due to the coconut oil and how it sets up in the refrigerator.  Try them.  I'm sure you will love them, too.
