GLUTEN-FREE COCONUT CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Last week I mentioned that Matilda and I went to the library to check out books for the first time. We were having so much fun that I wanted to keep the good times rolling. Matilda loves helping me in the kitchen and baking is one of the most fun things to do together. I always try to make these adventures as healthy as possible, but I'm pretty sure that making chocolate chip cookies with your little girl is not only a right of passage but it's also extremely good for the soul. These cookies are gluten-free (but definitely not free of taste) and I added lots of mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and pecans for a little crunch. They're amazing.
