Ok so a couple of things to keep in mind as you dive into this food adventure with us. I'll probably start most of my posts with, "Ok so...". I don't know why I do it, I just do so I hope it isn't too annoying! Second, I like to write the same way that I talk. I get overly excited, using lots of these, "!!!" over things that most people deem ordinary. Like these cookies for instance-YUMMY!!!! I found this recipe on www.thepioneerwoman.com (which if you type tasty kitchen into your google search it will bring you to the same place.) I made them thinking that they are for sure going to be overkill sweet--I mean sugar (white and brown) coconut, AND toffee bits?!? But I'm happy to say that these little guys are treasures! They are crispy and chewy and have about 3 depths of taste (yes three--trust me!) Also, for those of you on a diet, do yourself a favor and don't make them because they are ADDICTING! For this particular post I don't have the pictures for the prep work, only the ending result. Ok, Ok, I wasn't planning on putting them on here so I didn't bother taking pictures during prep..until I tasted them and knew they had to be a part of this blog! So here you are. Enjoy!

I made these and they tasted great, so thanks! One question - is it really 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract? That seems like a lot to me.
