Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies
The addition of coconut flakes and extract takes these soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies to another level. They are delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons raw pure honey or golden syrup
- 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
Optional:
- Parchment paper or silicone mat for baking
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a stand or hand mixer on medium speed, cream together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar for 4-5 minutes or until color turns pale and mixture becomes fluffy.
- Lower speed and add golden syrup or honey, eggs, vanilla, and coconut extract.
- Once combined well, slowly add flour mixture. Fold in chocolate chips and 1 cup of coconut flakes.
- Add scoops (about the size of a ping pong ball) to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Make sure cookies are a couple inches apart before place in oven. Sprinkle tops of unbaked cookies with remaining coconut flakes.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Let cool on baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Notes
- If you want bigger, thicker cookies, scoop into larger sized balls then place in fridge to firm before baking. Baking times will be a little longer, just keep an eye on them.
