Ingredients
- 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
- 1In a large bowl, mix the softened butter with the brown sugar and white sugar until you reach a creamy consistency.
- 2Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated.
- 3Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda together. Gradually add this dry mixture to the previous preparation, mixing until you have a smooth dough.
- 4Stir in the shredded coconut and dark chocolate chips. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- 5If 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.)
- 6Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Form dough balls using an ice cream scoop or your hands.
- 7Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each cookie.
- 8Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
- 9Let 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.
