Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup, packed Light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Large egg
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.75 cup Dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the vanilla extract and the egg to the butter-sugar mixture, and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut and dried cranberries using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop the dough into 1.5-tablespoon portions and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they will set as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy your Coconut Cranberry Chews fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week!
