Chocolate chip cookies

I baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies (CCC) today. Halfway through baking, I got bored looking at all the CCC clones I was making, so I tried getting creative. I took some dough and added cocoa powder and coconut flakes to it. When the cookies baked up, it tasted.....just OK. The coconut flavour wasn't that robust, and I couldn't detect the cocoa taste at all. But I think it made for preety cookies, with all the little coconut shards poking out. The CCC's were good though. I used the Nestle Toll House recipe as a base, but swapped in some Crisco for the butter. From previous trial and error, I find that Crisco really helps in retaining the shape of the cookie, and prevents over spreading.
