Everyone needs a good chocolate chip cookie recipe. I love to bake and have tried several recipes. My only problem was that my cookies always end up being too crunchy or just hard…until now. I have found a way to make any chocolate chip cookie recipe turn out perfect! It’s coconut oil! Coconut oil makes the cookies moist and gooey and delicious, just the way I like them. They also turn out nice and thick.

So here is a great chocolate chip cookie recipe to use for this holiday season and all year round. As a side note, you could make these vegan by using an egg substitute like flax/water or applesauce and by making sure your chocolate chips are dairy free.
