Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place your butter in a large bowl with the granulated sugar and cream together until homogenous and slightly crumbly. The mixture will resemble wet sand.
Add the eggs and vanilla to the creamed sugar and whisk vigorously until the eggs are fully incorporated in the dough.
Whisk in the baking soda, baking powder, and flour until there are no dry clumps of flour remaining in the cookie dough.
Gently fold in the shredded coconuts and chocolate chips. Ensure that these last two ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop balls of dough the size of 1-2 tablespoons on a cookie sheet.
Bake the cookies for 11 minutes, or until the tops begin to get golden brown.
Allow to cool, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

These cookies have a nice crunch, with a bit of softness on the inside. If you want to avoid the crunchy outer shell of the cookie, you can reduce the cooking time.

Because the cookie dough is so light, it is important to watch them carefully as they bake to ensure the edges do not begin to burn.

If you want to unlock a bit more of flavor in the shredded coconut, you can toast them on the stovetop for 3-5 minutes before adding them to the cookie dough.These cookies can be stored on the counter for 3-5 days or in the freezer for 2-3 months. When stored in the freezer, they can be stored either baked or unbaked.You can omit the chocolate chips and add dark cocoa powder if you want to boost the cocoa flavor in the cookies.
