Steps:
- 1. In a small bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Refrigerate until mixture just begins to thicken, about 35 minutes.

Tips:
- Use a 9x13 inch baking pan for best results.
- Be sure to use unsalted butter, as salted butter can make the cookies too salty.
- If you don't have coconut milk, you can use evaporated milk or regular milk instead.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- If you want a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set, about 10-12 minutes. If you over bake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
