Chewy Coconut Cookies

Ingredients

• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup butter
• 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/3 cups flaked coconut

Steps

1. Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl; set aside.
3. Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add egg and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy.
4. Gradually blend in flour mixture; do not overmix batter. Stir in coconut with a spatula until well combined.
5. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, about 3 inches apart so cookies can spread as they bake.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Serve and enjoy!
