White Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies
White Chocolate Chip Coconut Cookies combine soft butter and sugars with shredded coconut and white chocolate chips for a chewy, sweet cookie. The balance of coconut’s texture with the creamy white chocolate chunks delivers a subtle tropical sweetness and satisfying bite. Baking until the edges just turn golden keeps the centers tender.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (if using unsalted butter, use 3/4 teaspoon salt)
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups white chocolate chips (suggest Guittard or Ghirardelli chips or a mix of chunks and chips)
- 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar for at least 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until combined. Stir in white chocolate chips and coconut flakes.
- Drop onto parchment paper lined baking sheets. I suggest using light colored aluminum baking sheets for even baking. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges start to become a light golden color. Don't overbake! Let rest for 5 minutes on baking sheet before removing.
