White Chocolate Coconut Cookies

If you’ve never used shortening as your fat in a cookie, then you are missing out. My all-time favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe uses shortening. The results is a little crisp bottom with a soft and chewy texture.

The cookies get golden brown, and the caramelization of the sugars gives the best flavor. Combine that flavor with the texture from the oats, coconut, chopped nuts and white chips, and you won’t regret making these.
