Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Sweetened shredded coconut

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.

Step 3

Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the pure vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Take care not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the sweetened shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look just set.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
