Ingredients

• 1 and 3/4 c all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/2 c unsalted butter, softened
• 1 c granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 c unsweetened coconut
• 1 c white chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together butter and sugar. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add egg and vanilla and mix well.
Add the dry ingredients all at once and mix for 5 seconds.
Add coconut and white chocolate chips and mix the dough until the flour is incorporated. Do not overmix.
Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 2 hour, preferably overnight. You can scoop it out with a 1,5 tablespoon scoop onto a baking sheet and chill. (Chilled cookie dough can be tricky to scoop out.)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Line a cookie sheet with a parchment paper.
Scoop cookie dough with a 1,5 tablespoon size cookie scoop and place on the sheet.
Bake cookies for 8 to 10 minutes ( 9 minutes was the magic number for me).
Cool for 5 minutes on the sheet. Transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely.
