My DH has a problem… an Amiibo addiction. Do you know what those things are? They’re little figurines that Nintendo created for the Wii. Problem is, my DH just collects them. He doesn’t care much for actually playing with them.
I guess there could be worse things that he’s into, but man, Nintendo created some monsters! They’re so good at it, too. I don’t get the appeal over these things.
What I do get, however, is chewy cookies! White chocolate and coconut go so well together.
These cookies are about as soft as it gets. Just look at the inside!:
Recipe slightly adapted from Tracey’s Culinary Adventures (the only thing I did differently was omit the coconut extract since I didn’t have any on hand and increase the amount of white chocolate chips).
