How to Make Buttery Coconut Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in 1 teaspoon coconut extract.
  5. Beat in 1 large egg until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Stir in 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
  8. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 3 inches between each cookie.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
