The other night I was desperate for chocolate chip cookies. I had found an old recipe I used to use several years ago entitled "The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies Ever", so I tried them. The problem was I had no chocolate chips. However, I did have a dark chocolate orange (the kind you whack and unwrap), so I chopped it up in chunks and used that. Hello---- totally fabulous!!! My husband suggested I add coconut to the next batch, so I did and they were even MORE fabulous! So, here they are...
