Coconut Delight Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Delight Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C), setting the stage for delicious cookies.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar, and cream them together until the mixture is light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Next, add in an egg, a splash of vanilla extract, and a hint of coconut extract, then beat everything together until it’s well blended and smooth.

3. Step 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

4. Step 4

   Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into your buttery goodness, mixing just until everything is combined—don’t overdo it! Now comes the fun part: gently fold in semisweet chocolate chips, half a cup of chocolate-coated coconut and almond candy pieces, and some flaked coconut, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough for that delightful texture.

5. Step 5

   Using a scoop, portion out walnut-sized balls of dough and place them on ungreased baking sheets, making sure to leave about three inches of space between each one to allow for spreading.

6. Step 6

   Pop the trays into your preheated oven and bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely golden brown.

7. Step 7

   As soon as you pull the cookies from the oven, take a moment to press a few of the remaining chocolate-coated coconut and almond candy pieces into the tops of each cookie for a beautiful finishing touch.
