Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¼ teaspoon coconut extract
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg room temperature
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine 1/2 cup of butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well-mixed. This should take a few minutes.
  • Add the egg, coconut extract, coconut flakes, and vanilla extract. Mix for 1 minute.
  • Incorporate the flour, salt, and baking soda into the mixture until it forms cookie dough. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  • Using a cookie scoop, place the cookie dough onto the baking sheet and bake for 11-12 minutes.
  • Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Make sure the brown sugar is soft; otherwise, it will be difficult to mix in. Ensure that all of your ingredients are fresh for the best cookies!
  • Don't overbake the cookies! You'll need to bake them for 11-12 minutes at 350 degrees F.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper so the cookies don't stick.
  • If you don't have a cookie scoop, use a tablespoon to scoop the dough onto the baking sheet.
