Me + You = True Love
That’s exactly how I feel about these cookies. Happy early Valentine’s Day to me! I have been smitten with my favorite chocolate chip cookies for a while and I wasn’t sure that anything could ever take their place…until now.
I also adore German Chocolate Cake, so it was quite obviously attracted love at first sight – chocolate, coconut and pecans = unbelievably delicious, especially fresh from the oven.
And…oh my goodness…I used Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips to make these. I think they really made these cookies, not to mention they’re twice the size of every other chocolate chip I’ve seen. Amazing!

Hi,
These cookies looks really yummy and wonderful. These can be baked for some special occasion. The chocolate and nuts make them crunchy and chocolaty. They are soft and chewy. Thanks a lot.
Yummy! Thanks for sharing!
