These chocolate chip coconut cookies have been a favorite of mine for years. The coconut gives them such a sweet flavor and keeps them extra chewy, and they’re loaded with both milk and semi-sweet chips so they can be everyone’s favorite. And the best part is there is no chilling time required.
A CLASSIC CHOCOLATE CHIP COCONUT COOKIE
These have always been a classic favorite cookie of mine. Maybe it’s because this was the staple cookie that my Mom always made, and had stocked in our freezer, but they seem to be a pretty perfect cookie. Back before the world started adding in a bunch of extra kinds of flour and beautiful chopped chocolate we had the basic chocolate chip cookie. And while I have a deep love for a puddle of melty chocolate and the perfect flakes of salt on top, I find this cookie to be so simple and perfect, and the easiest and quickest to make.
WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE THESE CHOCOLATE CHIP COCONUT COOKIES
- Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Granulated Sugar
- Eggs
- Vanilla
- Baking Powder
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- All-purpose Flour
- Chocolate Chips, I love a mix of milk and semi-sweet chips
- Sweetened Shredded Coconut
HOW TO MAKE COOKIES
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, mix until smooth on low speed. Beat in vanilla.
- Slowly mix in dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
- Add both kinds of chocolate chips and coconut and stir.
- Scoop the dough into desired size cookie balls. I like to use a 3 tbsp scoop for these. Place 8-9 on sheet per baking so they don’t run into eachother.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
