How to Make King Arthur Chewy Coconut Chocolate Chunk Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease two baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup (40g) unsweetened coconut milk powder, and 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the coconut milk powder, sifting it to remove lumps, while mixing continuously.
  4. Beat in 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon coconut extract.
  5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for another 30 seconds to ensure everything is well combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. Stir in 2 cups shredded coconut and 2 cups chocolate chunks.
  9. Using a tablespoon cookie scoop (recommended), drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
