Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Shredded sweetened coconut

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded coconut using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake as the cookies will continue to cook slightly on the baking sheet after removing from the oven.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
