Coconut Graham Chocolate Chip Cookies (Donna's Heavenly Cookies)

I am back from my fun weekend at the Women's Expo. Guess who I met there? Leigh Anne, from yourhomebasedmom. I love her blog, but she doesn't even live in Utah, so she was the last blogger I expected to see there. She just happened to be down for her son's graduation from BYU. She was coming to visit Kim & Chris, who I happened to be sharing a table with, but she was nice enough to take a picture with me too. She is just as lovely and friendly as she is on her blog. It was sure fun to meet you Leigh Anne!

I know I've been sharing a lot of dessert recipes lately, but I've got a bunch stored away that I need to use up. You guys always leave me more comments on the treat recipes anyway, so I guess you don't mind too much. ;)

I got the recipe for these cookies years ago from my aunt Donna. She is a fabulous cook. They are similar to those awesome 7 layer bars, but in cookie form. I pretty much love sweetened condensed milk in anything, so I think these are amazing! And no, they really don't have any eggs in them. Trust me, you won't miss them. :)

  1. [...] recipe I wanted to make a cookie dough that did not contain eggs. I got my inspiration from these Chocolate Chip Cookies. I tweaked it a bit to get a good consistency that would hold up to dipping. They were a huge hit! [...]
