chocolate chip coconut cookies

Today I am stuck without a car (its in the shop today because of the accident yesterday) and without butter. I cant stand sitting at home and not baking so I decided to make some cookies without butter. I know, I know.. that buttery taste wont be there but the flavor from the chocolate and coconut will still be good!

makes approx. 2 dozen cookies


Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flower
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
1/3 cup shredded coconut


Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside
3. Whisk together sugar, brown sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla. Add flour mixture to oil mixture and stir just until blended. Stir in chocolate chips and coconut
4. Scoop up dough and shape into 1 inch balls. Space them about 2 inches apart onto 2 ungreased cookie sheets (if dough seems dry, press them down a little bit)
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes on cookie sheets then move to cooling rack.
