Ingredients
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
-
1 cup packed brown sugar
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
2½ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
½ teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1½ cups chocolate chips
-
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
-
Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy (about 2–3 minutes).
-
Add eggs and vanilla: Mix in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is well mixed.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
-
Stir in goodies: Fold in the chocolate chips and shredded coconut until they’re evenly spread through the dough.
-
Chill the dough: Cover the dough and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to firm up and deepen the flavors.
-
Preheat oven: Set your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Scoop and bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
