Discover chocolate and coconut cookies, an irresistible combination where intense chocolate meets exotic coconut for a delicious snack.
Ingredients
Serves : 12 servings
- 150 g softened butter
- 70 g brown sugar
- 70 g white sugar
- 220 g flour
- 1 egg
- 125 g shredded coconut
- 150 g dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix the softened butter with the brown sugar and white sugar until you reach a creamy consistency.
Step 2
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
Step 3
Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda together. Gradually add this dry mixture to the previous preparation, mixing until you have a smooth dough.
Step 4
Stir in the shredded coconut and dark chocolate chips. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 5
If possible, place the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. (This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.)
Step 6
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Form dough balls using an ice cream scoop or your hands.
Step 7
Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each cookie.
Step 8
Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 9
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Tips
- Use finely shredded coconut rather than flakes for a better texture.
- Do not skip the chilling step to obtain thicker and softer cookies.
- Prefer dark chocolate for a better balance of flavors with the coconut.
Substitutions
- Dark chocolate chips → Milk or white chocolate (reduce the sugar) — Dark chocolate balances the sweetness of the coconut better than milk chocolate.
