Coconut Butter Cookies Preparation

In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine butter and sugars. Beat on medium speed with the paddle attachment until smooth and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla and coconut extracts, and continue beating. Scrape down sides of bowl, and spoon in flour mixture, beating till combined. Add coconut and mix. Transfer dough to a smaller bowl (if necessary), cover and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a medium-size cookie scoop, or by heaped tablespoonfuls, drop the dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving at least a 2 to 3-inch gap between each mound. Place one baking sheets at a time onto center rack of preheated 350 degree F oven. For soft chewy cookies; bake until centers are very lightly browned, about 7 to 8 minutes. For crisper chewy cookies; bake until centers are golden brown, about 9 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for at least two minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

Makes about 36 cookies.

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Cookies freeze well.

Thank you for a great recipe. Made these yesterday and the baby did a dance this morning when I asked him if he wanted a cookie. :). This recipe will go into my personal book to be handed down. Thanks again.

I loved the flavor. The only problem I had was they were a bit to chewy with no crispyness. But the flavor more than made up for it.

Oh. My. Goodliness. These have officially replaced my favorite cookie. The coconut flavor is just right and they were so easy. Just don't get too excited, they have to chill 4 hours so no instant gratification!

I Had to cook them longer, but they were good. I added a little drizzled white chocolate on top of the cookies.

Yum!! Loved the flavor and texture. I embellished my cookies with chocolate ganache and shredded coconut flakes. So pretty. Excellent recipe to build upon.
