Ingredients

• 1 c. butter, softened
• 1-1/4 c. brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 c. sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 t. vanilla extract
• 1-1/4 c. all-purpose flour

• 3 c. sweetened flaked coconut
• 12-oz. pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Beat flour mixture into butter mixture. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets, 2 inches apart.

Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, or until golden. Cool cookies for one minute on baking sheets, remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Makes about 2 dozen.
