It’s no secret that chocolate chip cookies mean the world to me. Most girls love a fancy bouquet of flowers, but if you want to reach to the top of my list, give me the best cookie in the world and I’m yours. My dear friend and one of my favorite bakers, Loren Brill of Sweet Loren’s, an all-natural, ready-to-bake cookie dough company that is 100% whole grain and dairy free, has graciously shared one of my favorite recipes that is not on sale to the public. Here is an Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe you can make on your own, or you can buy her dough at Whole Foods in the Tri-State area or online.
