Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Mix the dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
  5. Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
  6. Cool: Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For added texture, mix in ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts or mini chocolate chips.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
