Oatmeal Chocolate Cookies

3/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup coconut milk
2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups oats
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
Chocolate chips to taste

Mix together dry ingredients. Add oil and combine. Add milk and combine. 

My girl doesn't like chocolate in her cookies so I reserved about 1/4 of the dough for her. I added about 3/4 cup chocolate chips to the remaining dough. 

Make into tablespoon sized balls and put on cookie sheets. Bake in (preheated) 350 degree over for about 10 minutes.

Chocolate Mousse

Now, chocolate mousse sounds complicated. And when you look up recipes you see gelatin, egg, etc. Bleh. It doesn't have to be hard though!

1 Cup Whipping Cream
6-8 ounces Chocolate
Water
Possible: Confectioners Sugar

Melt chocolate over a double boiler (I use a metal mixing bowl). As it is melting add a couple tablespoons of water to make the chocolate smooth. Once melted, set aside and let cool. 

If your chocolate is sweet, don't worry about sugar (I use semi sweet and don't add sugar). If you are using a bitter chocolate add some confectioners sugar to the next step. 

Whip cream until peaks form.

Slowly add in the cooled chocolate (about a third at a time). After each addition whisk it into the cream. Once all chocolate is added cover and cool in the fridge. Serve chilled.
