Instructions

First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, add room temperature butter, sugar and brown sugar. Beat for 2 to 3 minutes, until completely creamy. Be sure no clumps of butter remain.

Then, add in egg and vanilla. Stir to combine.

Next, add in baking soda, flour and sea salt. Stir to combine.

Fold in coconut flakes.

Roll dough into 1.5 inch sized balls. Place 3 inches apart on lined pan.

Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until edges are just barely set. They may look slightly soft in the middle.

Remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Coconut Flakes 🥥
Lightly toast the coconut flakes in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before adding to the dough to intensify their nutty flavor and create a more complex taste profile.
Chill Dough Before Baking 🧊
Refrigerate your cookie dough for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to prevent excessive spreading and achieve those perfectly chewy edges with a soft center texture.
Brown Your Butter 🧈
Use browned butter instead of regular melted butter to add a rich, nutty depth that elevates the overall flavor and pairs beautifully with the coconut and vanilla notes.
Balance Your Sugars Wisely 🍬
The combination of light brown sugar and white sugar is crucial—the brown sugar adds moisture and chewiness while white sugar promotes spreading for crispy edges; don't skip either one.
Underbake Slightly for Optimal Texture 🍪
Remove cookies from the oven when the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly underdone; they'll continue cooking on the baking sheet and stay wonderfully soft inside.
