White Chocolate and Coconut Chewy Cookies

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups flaked coconut
1 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually blend in the flour mixture, then mix in the coconut and chocolate chips. I used a yellow disher (2 oz) like this one: Stainless Steel Ice Cream Scooper / Disher, Plastic Handle, 2 oz , but I think in the future I'll use the black one (1 1/4 oz.).

3. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly toasted. Baking times will vary based on the size of the cookie. Cool on wire racks.
