Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you have noticed a lack of coconut on the blog, it's the fault of my husband.  He's not a fan (it's a texture thing, which is why he doesn't mind coconut milk in our curries).  So when he went out of town recently, I decided to console myself by putting some coconut in my cookies.  Which meant I was eating almost an entire batch of cookies by myself, but that was ok with me!  These guys are chewy perfections!  I love each little bite of coconut pecan chocolate and oatmeal.  Definitely a new favorite!
