Rich buttery chocolate chip coconut cookies with crispy edges and a chewy center. These delicious cookies will become a household favorite!
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl, beat both sugars, butter, vanilla, coconut extract, and egg with an electric mixer or kitchen aid on medium speed. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt till dough is stiff. Stir in shredded coconut and chocolate chips.
3. Drop dough in 1-1.5 inch balls over an ungreased cookie sheet. I like mine a bit larger so I go with 1.5 inch dough balls. Flatten a bit with the palm of your hand.
4. Bake 8 minutes or until light brown on edges (soft center). Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet, and 2 more minutes on a wire rack.
I LIKE MY COOKIES ON THE FLAT SIDE SO THIS RECIPE USES A TOUCH LESS FLOUR. IF YOU LIKE YOUR COOKIES A LITTLE MORE ON THE ROUDED SIDE, TRY ADDING 1/4 CUP FLOUR TO THE RECIPE.
