Hello Ashlee Marie fans!! I’m Kara from Creations by Kara and I am happy to be guest posting here while my cute friend Ashlee is busy doing other things. 🙂

Coconut chocolate chip cookie recipe

I’m a stay at home mom of four boys. I love all things creative. From refinishing furniture, to making jewelry, to thrifty decorating, to crochet, to quilting. . . I like to try it all.

Oh, and we are trying to adopt a baby girl, so I also try my hand at sewing girly clothes, and making mountains of hair clips and bows. And I also love to cook. And blog about all of it.

That’s one of the reasons I like Ashlee so much. Both of us are what I’ve heard referred to as ADD crafters. Can’t just stick to one thing when there are so many great things to try! 🙂

coconut chocolate chip cookies

Today I’m going to share a cookie recipe with you. I kind of have a cookie fetish. Love making them. Love eating them.

I always have a batch of frozen cookie dough balls (or cookies) in my freezer. You just never know when you’re going to need a cookie, and I like to be prepared! I tried this recipe for Coconut Chocolate Chip cookies last week, and they were a huge hit with my family.

Next time I might try toasting the coconut first, because I love the taste of toasted coconut. Either way, these are fabulous if you like coconut and chocolate like we do at my house!

Don’t those cookies look terrific???  I’ve been craving baked goods ALL week, but can’t stand actually baking them.  I wish Kara lived closer so I could head over.  If you check out her blog she ALWAYS has some amazing baked good!  Every week when I see her newest recipe I add it to my recipe collection.  I don’t think she’s made a single thing I didn’t want to try!  I remember the good old days when I had that too…  I used to keep frozen cookie dough balls (I wish I had some right now) but my husband would eat them all (a quadruple batch) in a month and gained 60 lbs in just 3 months!  So I had to quit doing that (Plus it totally made me all frustrated when I’d go to cook a few cookies and the batch would be gone!  Grrr).

Anyway, in addition to her amazing recipes she is also an incredible crafter!  So drop by and give her lots of love!

      Thanks for the congrats! I my snacks for myself and have to hide them so my husband doesn’t eat them. He doesn’t even like my snacks, he just likes snacking! So I try to keep snacks for him around.

    How many eggs are in this recipe? I am assuming 2 because Kara used them in plural form. I was planning on making these soon. Thanks!
