Just like everyone else and their dog, I’ve jumped onto the coconut oil bandwagon. I have been using it for about a month now on my hair and its worked wonders, but we won’t get into that, I’ll leave that for another post. I figured it’s time I start using for what it is actually meant for, eating. My mama has been putting coconut oil in almost everything she makes lately from soups, to stir frys, and even on toast. With all their health benefits, it can’t hurt to at least try. So after spotting this recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies, using coconut oil instead of butter, I jumped at the starting point. If I have to start somewhere, it might as well be on a cookie.
Since making them, I’ve inhaled far too many to count, including any crumbs of Sofia’s that I see being ignored. And just on Monday I put a small baggy of cookies in my husbands lunch kit and my afternoon text looked accordingly:
“Those cookies were incredible!!! Phenomenal!!!”
I guess they will be replacing our regular “go-to” Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe in the Ciulla house. Twist my rubber arm.
