Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips if you're using them.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop large balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies. Don’t overmix the dough to keep cookies tender. Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
