Chewy white chocolate coconut cookies | Easy cookie recipe

For today’s easy recipe we are putting a twist on one of my favourite classic cookie recipes and making white chocolate coconut cookies! This easy cookie recipe combines sweetened shredded coconut with a classic sugar cookie dough resulting in a chewy tender cookie. The addition of white chocolate chips adds the perfect compliment of sweet creamy white chocolate flavour to these easy cookies. The dough can be portioned and frozen in an air tight container or bag, making these a great make ahead cookie as well!

Chewy white chocolate coconut cookie recipe:

Ingredients:
1/2 cup salted butter (softened) 115g
1/3 cup packed brown sugar 60g
1/3 cup white granulated sugar 66g
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract 2g
1 large egg 55g-60g
1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1.5g
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 3g
1 + 1/3 cup all purpose flour 170g
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut 90g
1/2 cup white chocolate chips 90g

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350F/175C. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl combine flour, salt and baking powder. Whisk until combined. In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer) cream room temperature butter and both brown and white sugar on low until well incorporated, around 2 minutes. Add in the egg and coconut extract and continue mixing on low until the mixture is light in texture and pale in colour. Add in the dry mixture, mixing until just combined. Next add the shredded coconut and mix until just combined. Lastly add in the white chocolate chips and stir using a spatula until evenly distributed. Using a 1.5 Tbs cookie scoop or a rounded heaping tablespoon drop the cookies onto the parchment lined sheets. Bake for 7-9 minutes, removing as soon as the bottoms are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for a couple minutes and then move to a wire rack to finish cooling completely! I recommend allowing these cookies to set for at least 10 minutes as the centre will be very soft when it is still hot! This cookie recipe will yield 18-24 cookies, I got exactly 22!
