These Soft Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies are everything I dream of in a cookie, soft and chewy.

The addition of the coconut really just sets these cookies off like no other, I always love a little something extra in my chocolate chip cookie recipes and coconut is one of them.

How to make Soft Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies :

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place butter in large microwave safe bowl. Cook for 40 seconds or until butter is very soft.
With hand mixer, cream together butter and sugars until mixed and creamy, about 1 minute.
Add in vanilla and egg, mix until just combined about 10 seconds.
Add in the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and coconut.
Dived and roll dough into 9 balls. Place on cookie sheet at least 2 inches apart, do not press down. Bake 10-12 minutes until cookies are very slightly golden, dry on top and puffy.
Remove from oven and let sit on cookie sheet for 30 minutes before serving, enjoy!

I looooove toasted coconut and it really add a nice little extra something to these classic chocolate chip cookies.

They are super easy to make. I know this will be your new go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe. If you’re not wild about coconut or just want a classic, then leave it out, no biggie!

How do you keep cookies soft?

Making sure you have a good seal and storing properly is the best way to keep cookies soft.

Storing in an airtight container or ziptop bag is best when you want to keep the cookies soft and chewy longer.

Bread is also another tick that keeps the cookies soft, it helps the cookies retain moisture and not dry out, so placing a slice of bread in your storage container will help.

These Soft Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies are truly amazing, you have to try this recipe!! I’m not just saying it because I made them, I just truly think they are seriously delicious.

This recipe is super fun to make with the kids too! They always love mixing in the ingredients and I always think that cookie recipes are a great introduction recipe for kids.

Usually they aren’t super hard, they contain minimal ingredients and they are able to learn about measurements easily when it comes to them.

So it’s always a good teaching lesson when we get to make these with kids.

Can I freeze these?

Absolutely, you can either freeze after baking or before, depending on what you want to do.

To freeze before baking mix as directed then place on a baking sheet and place in freezer until dough balls are frozen, then place in airtight container and they should keep for 9-10 months.

To freeze already baked cookies, bake and cool completely and then place on lined baking sheet and freeze fully and then again remove to store in a airtight container. These should keep around 3-4 months.

These cookies are really a fun and easy recipe to make. I just have to reiterate how much I LOVE cookies! They are one of the things we make most often in our house.

Not only because they are easy, but everyone loves them, and they are easy to bring to gatherings or give as gifts during the holidays.

Cookies are just one of those versatile recipes that you can pretty much doctor up to your flavor and work well in any occasion.

If you are not a fan of coconut you can leave it out for a delicious regular chocolate chip cookie recipe.
You do not have to chill this dough, it is just mix up and bake, super easy.
