Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

 Coconut and chocolate make the perfect combo! These Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies are perfectly baked and loaded with chocolate chips and shredded coconut. 

Coconut and chocolate make an awesome combo! It’s been a favorite of mine since childhood with I discovered the candy bar Mounds.

It’s been one of my favorites since then and this cookie was inspired by those flavors.

It’s simple to make and tastes amazing. A must-try cookie for sure. And if you love cookies as much as I do then check out a few of my other favorites next.

How to make Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies:

Take my classic Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and add coconut!

Make your cookie dough and then chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.

Scoop out the cookie dough balls and space them out evenly on the baking sheet. Bake and enjoy!

 Directions:

Step One – Cream together butter and sugar.

Step One continued – Once creamed together add your vanilla and eggs.

• Cooking Tip: Chilling the dough allows the fats and oils to reharden so the cookie does not spread out too much during baking.

Step Four – Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Prepare a cooking sheet of parchment paper or non-stick cooking spray.

Step Five – Spoon and roll out unto a prepared cookie sheet.

Top the cookies with the remaining coconut flakes. Allow to cook for 7-8 minutes.

Tips and FAQ:

Don’t Over-Bake: It’s important to not overbake your cookies. When you remove your cookie, they might not look done but they will continue to cook on the pan.

Don’t Over-Mix: Over mix your cookies they could come out of the oven flat. Make sure to mix until just combined.

Freezing Cookie Dough: I love making extra cookie dough to freeze for later. All you need to do is roll them into balls and then freeze them.

Place them on a sheet pan and into the freezer. This way they all freeze individually without getting stuck together.

Once they are frozen you can place them all in a large freezer bag together.

Baking Frozen Cookie Dough: Start by removing the cookie dough from your freezer.

Take out the cookie dough balls from the baggy and place them on a baking dish to thaw.

Once the cookie dough is back to room temperature you can bake them according to the directions.
