Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 unit Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup Chocolate chunks (dark or semi-sweet)
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, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and beat until 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 just until no dry streaks remain. Avoid overmixing.
Stir in the shredded coconut and chocolate chunks using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
