"These cookies are not only delicious but healthier for you as opposed to regular chocolate chips because the Chocolate Covered Raisins have 30% less fat and they are a natural source of fruit antioxidants. Also, eating shredded coconut has a number of health benefits since it's high in healthy saturated fat and rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals."
