Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup white chocolate M&Ms
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Fold in the shredded coconut and white chocolate M&Ms using a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the dough.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Gently press down on each cookie dough ball to slightly flatten, allowing room for spreading during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this ensures the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough after adding flour to keep cookies tender and light.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes that bake evenly.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For extra festive look, reserve a few white chocolate M&Ms to press on top of each cookie right after baking.
- Store in an airtight container with a piece of bread to keep cookies soft for up to 5 days.
- For best flavor, let cookies cool completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup.
