Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
These cookies offer a perfect balance of sweet chocolate and tropical coconut. The combination creates a chewy texture with bursts of rich flavor in every bite. They are easy to make and loved by both kids and adults alike.
Directions
Warm your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and coconut oil until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Then, add in the egg and vanilla, mixing everything well. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and coconut flakes so they’re evenly spread throughout the dough. Use a tablespoon to drop dollops of dough onto the prepared sheets, making sure to leave about an inch and a half between each cookie. Pop the trays into the oven and bake for around 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies turn a nice golden brown and feel set. Let them cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
