JUMBO COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
Before my husband was my husband, he and his friends used to have what they called the “Dip Test” for the girls they were dating. Basically if a girl goes swimming and comes up out of the water looking like something out of a horror movie than she did not pass the Dip Test.
Natural was better than 1-inch thick slathered on makeup. I met my husband at the pool without any makeup on so I guess I passed the Dip Test. Now…I’m not sure I would pass.
I need a little more help these days with makeup to cover under eye circles and all that fun stuff that age and kids will do to you.
These Jumbo Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies have that bakery style look and texture.
They have a slightly crisp outside with and soft and chewy inside full of chocolate chips and coconut. And they pass the Dip Test. These are great all by themselves and dipped in a white candy coating to make them even fancier. 
I’ve noticed at the holiday parties I’ve gone to lately that with all of the cute holiday food, all people really want is chocolate chip cookie.
They’re the first to go. They’re safe. They’re hard to screw up. They’re predictable. That’s why I love these.
Chocolate chip cookies that can be dressed up with some white chocolate and sprinkles but are still the chocolate chip cookie you love. 
If jumbo isn’t your thing, make them regular sized. This jumbo cookie ate the smaller cookie.

Notes
They use to make a cookie like this in a mall where I shopped. Sadly, they do not make them any more. Those cookies also had toasted pecans. If I added a cup of pecans to this recipe, do you think it would effect the cookies? Thank you.
No it would be great!
These look wonderful, however you don’t mention if the coconut is sweetened or unsweetened. Since you use 2 cups of sugar i’m guessing unsweetened??? Thanks
I used unsweetened. Sorry. I will make the change.
What a great gift these delish jumbo cookies would make. Thanx for the idea.
The dip test! Ha! I love that these passed the dip test, too 😉

Could you replace one of the teaspoons of vanilla with a tsp. of coconut extract for more coconut flavor?
Yes, definitely!
Chocolate chip cookies are always a good idea, but adding coconut is just genius! And the white chocolate dip makes it even better.
These look amazing! I’m sure that alone they would be fabulous, but dipped in the white chocolate I bet they are out of this world yummy!
These look good, however, the last 3 times I made cookies, they turned out SO flat & looked ugly. But they tasted good. They usually turn out better when I use half butter/half shortening. I’m leery about using all butter. I always chill my dough for at least an hr before baking. Do you have any suggestions for me? All my pans are nonstick. It’s very difficult to find non-insulated cookie sheets. Please help. Thanks!
Hmmm. Where do you live? You can definitely use half butter/ half shortening if you are worried. Also, make sure none of your ingredients have expired.
