Coconut Cookies
Description
The cookie dough is made by creaming butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut extract (optional) are added and mixed well. Dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt are combined separately, then added to the wet mixture. Sweetened shredded coconut is folded in last to distribute throughout the dough.
Portioned with a cookie scoop, dough balls are spaced apart on parchment-lined baking sheets, baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 11 to 13 minutes until edges turn golden brown. After resting briefly on the sheet, cookies are transferred to a rack to cool completely. This process yields cookies with crisp edges and chewy centers infused with coconut throughout.
The cookies are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain texture and freshness. These cookies can be enjoyed as a snack, dessert, or with coffee or tea.
