These Chewy Coconut Cookies are soft, sweet, and full of coconut flavor. Made with simple ingredients like shredded coconut, butter, and brown sugar, they bake into chewy perfection every time. A must-try treat for coconut lovers looking for a quick and easy dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, based on preference)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
  • Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, but the centers are still soft.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • If you prefer a crispier cookie, flatten the dough balls more before baking.
  • These cookies are great for gifting, or served alongside a warm cup of tea or coffee.
