Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 0.75 cup Dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.
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. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded coconut and dried cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these delightful Cranberry Coconut Chews as a snack, dessert, or holiday gift!
