These chocolate-drizzled coconut cookies are soft, chewy, and rich with coconut flavor. Finished with a generous drizzle of semi-sweet chocolate, they taste like a Mounds bar in cookie form. Easy to make and perfect for holiday cookie exchanges, they’re my go-to when I want something a little different.

3. Drop cookie dough by the spoonful onto greased cookie sheets.
4. Bake about 10-15 minutes until slightly golden brown.
5. Let the cookies cool completely.
6. In a small, microwavable bowl, fully melt the semi-sweet chocolate baking chips. Use a spoon or fork (I like to use a fork) and drizzle the chocolate over each cookie. If the chocolate hardens, microwave for a few more seconds..
7. Let the chocolate set up before serving, about 30-minutes, or put them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
