Coconut Cookies with Chocolate Chips

Wednesday, November 23, 2011
I love coconut and chocolate and these cookies are two of the best ingredients and make best the perfect combinations of flavor.

This cookie is simple, however, we use a secret ingredient for a little more texture, crushed cornflakes.

I have tried so many recipes over the last 20 years and these are so much better than any other coconut cookie out there.

Chocolate chips whether milk, semi-sweet or even another flavor white, or butterscotch chips are all a nice change also.

Keep in mind you will need to make toasted coconut by baking in the oven or microwaving it so do this ahead of time first and cool it.

  4. Add flour, baking soda, and salt together into a large bowl and put it aside.
  5. Cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth.
  6. Beat in the egg and vanilla until this mixture looks light around 3 minutes.
  7. Stir in the flour mixture, then stir in the coconut until blended evenly.
  8. Fold in the chocolate chips and cornflakes.
  9. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.
  10. Using a cookie scoop, or teaspoon on the lined baking sheets.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.

  5. I thought it was funny when Alton Brown published 3 Chocolate Chip recipes for thin and crispy, regular and thick and cakey. But you one up him by listing alternate ingredients for variations. My mom only had 1 recipe whatever was on the back of the chocolate chip bag. Now you have me craving chocolate chip cookies.

  11. You're probably right about over cooking. I've noticed that when you leave a cookie in to get completely browned, it ends up crispy after cooling.

  12. Oh, yum! I hardly ever make cookies that aren't of the pillsbury variety. In my head, I'm like those are just fine. But then I see these original, classic cookies and I feel like storming into the kitchen and baking some PROPER cookies :)
