Oh sorry it's actually linked in the recipe name! But I'll cut and paste it here too
--------------------
Chewy Coconut Chocolate Chunks
* 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
* 1/2 cup coconut milk powder
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1 large egg
* 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
* 1/4 teaspoon coconut flavor
* 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 1/2 cups large flake unsweetened coconut
* 1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips or Burgundy chunks
Directions
1) Preheat the oven to 375°F/190C. Lightly grease two baking sheets, or line with parchment paper.
2) In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, coconut milk powder and sugars. Stir the coconut milk powder through a strainer as you add it to the mixing bowl, to take out any lumps.
3) Beat in the egg, corn syrup, and coconut flavor. Scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl, and beat for another 30 seconds to make sure everything is evenly combined.
4) Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder; beat into the butter mixture until evenly combined.
5) Mix in the coconut and chocolate chips or chunks.
6) Scoop by the tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets, and bake for 9 to 11 minutes. A tablespoon cookie scoop works well here. (Mine cooked in 9 minutes)
7) Bake just until the edges of the cookies are a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to finish cooling completely.
Yield: 40 cookies.
--------------------------
The yield they give is wildly optimistic btw! I got 21 cookies out of it myself.. true, they're not tiny cookies, but even so!
I did make the following changes to the recipe - I increased the coconut milk powder to 2/3 cup, decreased the flour to 2 cups and used two 100g 70% dark chocolate bars broken into bits. They came out really nice and I hope I can keep my mitts off them to take them into work on Monday!
