Servings:
12 Cookies
Ingredients
  • ½ cup butter
  • ⅓ cup light brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 ½ cups toasted desiccated coconut
Directions
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugars on a medium speed until smooth and fluffy — about 4 minutes.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat again to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and desiccated coconut.
  4. Add this to the bowl of the mixer and mix on a low speed until combined into a thick dough.
  5. Put the dough in the fridge to chill for 1 hour, or in the freezer for about 25 minutes.
  6. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Roll the dough into balls with your hands and place them on the baking sheets, allowing enough room for spreading. There should be enough dough for 12 cookies.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until just starting to brown around the edges.
  9. Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes before using a spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
