Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups (281g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (85g) shredded sweetened coconut
  • 2 cups (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl (or stand mixer bowl), cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix!
  6. Gently fold in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons (or use a cookie scoop) of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these chewy coconut chocolate chip cookies!
