Chewy Coconut Cookies

So most people don't like coconut. Why? I don't know. I think you are missing out. If you are thinking that maybe you want to try coconut again...here's your chance! Don't miss out!

A nice small batch too! You can make it in a jiffy!


It won't kill you to try. Even though you think it might.

Give them away to other coconut haters after you realize how delicious they are. I just ate three while typing this. I need to freeze the rest or they may disappear.

Bake. Share. Love.

Chewy Coconut Cookies
Recipe/Photo from The Delicious Life


1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
½ cup (1 stick) softened butter
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1½ cup flaked (or shredded) coconut

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.

In a large bowl, sift together 1 c. all-purpose flour, ½ tsp. baking soda, ½ tsp. baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

In a separate bowl, cream together ½ c. softened butter and ½ c. each of granulated and brown sugars. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 tsp. vanilla.

Mix flour mixture into butter/sugar mixture, then mix in 1½ c. flaked coconut. (Like with nearly all my cookie dough I like to chill the dough before baking.)

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet (there’s enough butter in the dough) and bake for 8-10 minutes until cookies are light brown and edges are toasted.
