Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°.

Step 2

Cream butter and sugar together; then add egg and vanilla and stir to combine.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and 1/2 cup of shredded coconut; then, pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients and use an electric mixer to stir the batter. It may take a few seconds for it to come together, but if the dough still seems too dry, add 1 tbsp milk and that should do the trick. Last, stir in the remaining coconut by hand.

Step 4

Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray (or use parchment), then use an ice cream scooper to scoop cookie dough onto the baking sheet. Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set. Remove from the oven and wait 2-3 minutes before transferring cookies to a cooling rack.

Step 5

Enjoy!
