How to cook deliciously - Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer and cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Editor’s Tip: Five to seven minutes seems excessive, but our guide on how to cream butter and sugar shows just how effective that time can be. Creaming adds pockets of air that help puff up the cookies (and other baked goods) as they bake, resulting in softer cookies.

2. Stage

Beat in egg and coconut extract. Give the bowl a good scrape on the bottom and sides with a rubber spatula.

3. Stage

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Beat the dry mixture into the creamed mixture until just combined.

4. Stage

Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate chips and shredded coconut.

5. Stage

Drop the cookie dough by rounded tablespoonfuls two inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. You could also use a cookie scoop to portion out more consistent dough ball sizes!

6. Stage

Bake the cookies until they’re beautifully golden brown, 11 to 13 minutes. Wait a few minutes to let the cookie bottoms set, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool to room temperature. Editor’s Tip: Sprinkle some flaky Maldon salt on the tops of the cookies for a deeper cookie flavor and a gorgeous, professional-looking touch.
