When I was a little girl my mother make a cookie recipe from Jiffy icing mix that had chocolate chips and coconut in it. It was almost like a macaroon. I think the recipe was on the back of the icing box. Does anyone out there know this recipe?

There is also a recipe for Macaroons containing coconut at the link above but they dont contain choc chips. Maybe your mother improvised on that recipe??
Here are the recipes on the current Jiffy site made with the white frosting mix:
www.jiffymix.com/
There is one for Easy Coconut Cookies but they have no choc chips in them. At the side of the page to the right is a link for a free cookbook you can send for. I dont know if it contains recipes other than what is listed already at the Jiffy site.
Or you could call their toll free number and ask if they have the recipe you are looking for:800-727-2460
