Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies

A chewy oatmeal-chocolate chunk cookie is a beautiful thing, and this has become the recipe I go to most often. They use boiling water and baking soda in place of the egg, and are based on a classic from the yellow Best of Bridge book, Enjoy! I like to push a chocolate chunk in the top of each one too, to make sure each cookie gets one, and to make them look extra chocolatey.

    Looks like a wonderful cookie. Just in time for Christmas too! Can I substitute unsalted butter for coconut oil?
