Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Add-Ins:
- ¾ cup sweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup chopped almonds
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Blend in Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.

- Cool and Serve: Let cookies cool in the basket for 3–5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can substitute dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- Add a splash of almond extract for extra nuttiness.
