I have a new iphone. I have a gazillion food applications. My favorite one is the Weight Watches app. I found these cookies! One point! So, I decide to make them! One of the ingredients is coconut oil. I KNOW Price Chopper does not carry coconut oil. So my sister and I go to the new Whole Foods in West Hartford (my new favorite store - you should see their ready to eat bar!). $10.00 later we are walking out with 12 oz of coconut oil. Now, I have to find what I can make with the 11.5 oz I have left :)!

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat sugar, oil and vanilla until blended. Add half of the flour mixture and half of the water and beat until smooth. Add the coconut, remaining water and flour mixture and continue beating until everything is combined. The dough will appear very sticky.
Using a cookie scoop, arrange the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before serving, eating, or storing in Tupperware.
