Coconut Crunch Cookies image

Found this in my Taste of Home magazine. As I love both coconut and chocolate, I thought I'd post it here to save for when I start my holiday baking. The recipe states these are a sweet drop cookie and loaded with coconut and chocolate chips. Their crisp edges and soft centers add up to a perfect treat. Sounds good to me!
