Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
I love these coconut chocolate chip cookies. I use the semi-sweet chocolate chunks along with chopped pecans.
Yield: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut (fresh or packaged)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line several cookie sheets with parchment paper or grease them lightly with butter or vegetable oil.
- Sift the flour and baking soda together into a small bowl and set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter, sugar and vanilla extract together in a medium-size mixing bowl until light and fluffy, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stop the mixer twice to scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Add the egg and mix at medium speed until it is incorporated, 20 to 25 seconds. Scrape the bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients on low speed and mix until blended, 20 to 25 seconds.
- Add the coconut and chocolate chips; blend until they are mixed in, about 10 seconds.
- Drop the dough by heaping tablespoonsful about 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets, then flatten them with your fingers to about 2 inches in diameter.
- Bake the cookies until they are firm to the touch and golden around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Allow them to cool on the cookie sheets.
