For The Love of Coconut
We have a confession to make. I. Just. Can’t. Stop. Buying. Coconut. When we go grocery shopping we often grab a coconut-related item. It may be a whole coconut, coconut oil, coconut milk, or coconut flakes.
Lately, we've been grabbing off the shelves a whole lot of coconut flakes. That also means we have to find ways to cook and enjoy all the coconut in our life. Because we cannot “come and be” wasting Mr. N’s money on coconut and we end up not consuming it.
That’s why we came up with these Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies. Coconut chocolate chip cookies. Say that really fast!
This recipe includes two of our culinary boos. Coconut – our boo for life and chocolate – our side boo. We're loco for the coco and the choco!
- Yield: 30 cookies
- Prep: 15 minutes
- Cook: 15 minutes
- Total: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour (1/4 kg)
- 1 cup butter (16 tablespoons)
- 2 cups chocolate chips, we used both white and milk chocolate
- 2 cups coconut flakes
- 1 cup sugar (16 tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 eggs
Method
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- In a bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. You could use an electric mixer for this.
- Beat eggs and add in one at a time. Add in the vanilla and stir well.
- Add in flour, baking soda and salt and mix until well incorporated.
- Carefully fold in the chocolate chips and coconut flakes.
- Place rounded one-and-a-half tablespoonfuls on the prepared baking tray. Note that you do not need to try to form the dough into cookies here. Simply make rounded portions and place the baking tray. They will flatten as they bake.
- Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for about 12 – 15 minutes until nice and golden brown.
