Mint Chip Coconut Cookies

Yes, I realize it's only mid November but all that's in my mind is the holidays. On this particular day, Christmas is all I can think about. The decorations have come out and I'm just waiting for the tree.
If you're not so ready for Christmas, just make these cookies and I'm sure you will be.
You're probably thinking "Coconut and mint?!" Trust me when I say that it's a combination straight from the heavens. Delicious.

Double Chocolate Mint Cookies

Hi. My name is Amanda and I'm a bake-aholic.
It's true. I admit it.
I long ago got to the stage of this addiction where I simply embrace it. Luckily, I have a wonderful mister and friends who are more than happy to enjoy the copious amounts of brownies, cookies, and cakes.
This leads us to these cookies. Someone recommended that I make something combining chocolate and mint. Some of my loved ones are big fans of the combination so I took the challenge on.
These cookies are the perfect combination of chocolate and mint. The mint is not over powering but definitely still present.
