Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut (toasted (optional, see notes))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Cream butter and sugar together; then add egg and vanilla and stir to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and 1/2 cup of shredded coconut; then, pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and use an electric mixer to stir the batter. It may take a few seconds for it to come together, but if the dough still seems too dry, add 1 tbsp milk and that should do the trick. Last, stir in the remaining coconut by hand.
  • Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray (or use parchment), then use an ice cream scooper to scoop cookie dough onto the baking sheet. Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set. Remove from the oven and wait 2-3 minutes before transferring cookies to a cooling rack.
  • Enjoy!
