Kim's Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

Today is my Dad's birthday so I thought I'd share these today because he has always been a cookie monster and these are absolutely THE BEST EVER chocolate chip cookies you will ever eat.  I guarantee it, email me if I'm wrong because I have never been so sure of myself in my whole life. 

If you're not a fan of adding either oatmeal or coconut to your chocolate chip cookies, leave one out and double the other so you'd have 1 cup oatmeal and no coconut or vice versa.  If you're a real purist and don't want either in your cookie, leave them both out and reduce the butter to 1 cup.  

Kim's BEST EVER Chocolate Chip Cookies
Yield: 36 cookies Prep: 10 min Cook: 12-15 min Temp: 350F

1 1/4 cups butter or coconut oil, room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1/2 cup large flake oatmeal 
3 cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350F.  With an electric mixer beat butter or coconut oil with brown sugar and white sugar until fluffy.  Add eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.  Add flour, baking soda, salt, coconut and oatmeal and mix until combined. Add chocolate chips and fold by hand until blended.  Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto parchment paper lined cookie sheets and bake 350F for 12-15min.

 Happy Birthday Dad, you're the best ever, I'm coming over with cookies for you!

We’ve known Jer (Jeremy) since he was a baby, he’s the same age as our older daughter. Our families are close and it’s so fun watching them grow up together. He’s the first one up in the morning, coffee perking, always ready and excited to help his dad with anything.  He likes to send it, play hockey and hang out with his friends and his kitties. For entrepreneurship class this term, he nailed it when he and his Mom made fudge to sell to his classmates. On the bus ride home that day, he was super kind and shared some with our younger daughter and when she got home she shared some with me. It was SO GOOD that I needed to get the recipe so I could make some too and they said I could share it here as well so I hope you enjoy it as much as we are. Keep it up with these great ideas, Jer! We love you buddy!

GRANDMA VERNA'S BEST EVER BREAD RECIPE

The recipe to make bread is exactly the same as making cinnamon buns, the only difference is that you split the dough in half and drop them directly into loaf pans to proof before baking. Coming up soon is a stuffed ham and cheese loaf/buns that's been fantastic for lunch, dinner and field suppers. It's an all-in-one sandwich that never disappoints.
