I got this recipe from Woman's Day magazine, and don't get me wrong - they're delicious! - but I don't think we should just throw the word "ultimate" around like its just any other word. The pecans and coconut definitely earn a "fabulous" or a "stupendous," but I just don't know about the "ultimate." Thus the quotation marks. hahaha who cares, right?! Whatever. Really though, these cookies were an absolute HIT with my family at our big birthday celebration yesterday! My sister, who doesn't even like nuts or coconut, ate about 5 of them. If that's not something, I don't know what is! So, I hope you enjoy these fabulous, stupendous, ultimate chocolate chunk cookies!

Those cookies look amazing. My boyfriend loves cookies with lots of "stuff" in them, so I'll have to give these a try. I just found your blog -- it looks delightful (delicious, too).
Those look yummy! I like the thinness of them. I'm glad they were a hit!!
