Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
Ingredients
For this delicious coconut chocolate chip cookie recipe, you will need the following ingredients: 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, 2 cups semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips, 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional).
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars using an electric mixer.
