Chewy Coconut Cookies

By kristentirrell

Very easy to make and so worth it! Think soft and chewy, buttery, coconut sugar cookies.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter , softened to room temperature
• 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 large egg , room temperature
• 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
• 2 teaspoons boiling water

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees.

Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a large bowl beat the butter, sugars & honey together until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla and continue mixing.

In a separate medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.

Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on low to low-medium speed until almost combined. Then beat in the boiling water and coconut.

Drop the cookie dough into small balls (slightly under a tablespoon) on your prepared cookie sheet 3 inches apart.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are just starting to brown and the tops are beginning to set.

Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 to 10 minutes, then continue cooling on a wire rack.
