Whenever I start to feel stressed and overwhelmed I tend to crave cookies. They're easy to make and oh so comforting. So when my friend Clarinda posted this recipe on her awesome new food blog right in the middle of some big stressors in my life, I started obsessing about these cookies. I literally saw the recipe, started drooling, and within 24 hours had gone to the store for the missing ingredients. With coconut and chocolate it was just the stress relieving pleasure I was looking for and my kids loved the fun, bright colors. Hope you have a happy and relaxing Thanksgiving!
