Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
These Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies are a dessert dream come true. If you’re a fan of chocolate chip cookie recipes, adding the coconut flavor to the mix is highly recommended. It’s just the best duo out there!
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter , room temperature
- ½ cup brown sugar , I used dark brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup coconut flakes, or desiccated coconut
- more coconut shavings or shreds on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Add the butter and sugars to a bowl and use an electric mixer on low to combine. Do this until it is smooth and creamy.
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix on low. Set the mixture aside.
- In a different bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Whisk to combine and then add to the wet ingredients. Add ½ cup at a time, beating on low with the mixture. Do this until all is added.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and coconut then chill the batter in the fridge for 1 hour. Be sure to chill the batter between batches as well. The texture of the cookie dough should feel a bit like playdough and not be sticky.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of the batter and roll it into 2-inch balls.
- Put the cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. Do NOT press down on them.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will be softer in the center once baked but will firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies stand for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack.
