Ingredients:
1 cup softened unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded coconut
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
One egg at a time, add the vanilla essence, and thoroughly combine.
Mix the baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour in a separate basin. Till the components are just blended, gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ones.
Gently fold in the shredded coconut until it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using rounded tablespoons of dough, drop them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn a golden brown color.
After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool down a little bit on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container to maintain their chewiness.
These delightful coconut cookies offer a perfect balance of soft and crunchy textures. The combination of butter, sugars, and shredded coconut creates a flavorful cookie that is ideal for enjoying with a hot beverage or sharing with loved ones.
