The recipe title is a mouth full and for good reason. I just couldn't leave any of those descriptive words out. These cookies are everything I was hoping for and so much more. With the rich chocolately base, the nutty crunchy of the toasted coconut and the savory flavor of the sea salt, this is a combination you won't regret.
If you've never had sea salt on your chocolate, you might think this strange--or gross, even. But do me (and yourself!) a favor and give it a try. The salt is sprinkled on during the last minute of baking, so it can be avoided if you really want, but I urge you to expand your horizons and experience the delicious flavor combinations. It will engage every taste bud on your tongue!

recipe by recipesdream.blogspot.com
Yields 3-1/2 to 4 dozen cookies
Ingredients
1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1-3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup flaked, sweetened coconut
1 cup chocolate chips
sea salt, for sprinkling
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place a large skillet on a burner set to medium high heat. Add coconut and stir frequently until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside on a separate plate to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together margarine, shortening, sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Add in eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir into creamed mixture. Add in coconut and stir. Mix in chocolate chips.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto a baking sheet by large tablespoonfuls. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle each cookie with sea salt. Bake an additional 1 minute. Remove from oven to cool on baking sheet for 2 minutes, then to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store remaining dough in the refrigerator between batches.
