White Chocolate Coconut Cookies

Soft chewy white chocolate coconut cookies are the perfect sweet, buttery tropical cookie!

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with coconuts. I have talked about my love affair with coconuts on Modern Honey before but it may be worth repeating because it was literally my favorite food. What 6-year old would do extra chores around the house and in the yard just to be able to take a drive to Smitty’s and pick out a big ol coconut just for myself.

I would spend so much time in the backyard with just me, a hammer, and a coconut trying to open it. I think my brothers found so much entertainment in watching me from the kitchen window take whacks out of a coconut to no avail. But when I finally got it opened, I would drain out the juice and eat the entire coconut by myself. It may not have been sweet but I love the crunchy tropical treat.

So it would only be fitting to combine two of my favorite things — COOKIES and COCONUT. How can you go wrong? These cookies start off with a sweet buttery cookie dough and then sweet flaked coconut and white chocolate chunks or chips are added. They remind me of being in Hawaii and I am all about that kind of daydreaming!

You can use a mix of white chocolate chunks or chips depending on preference. I picked up a high-quality white chocolate bar from the grocery store and cut it into chunks and also use white chocolate chips. I prefer using sweetened flaked coconut because of the soft texture and sweetness but you can also use unsweetened flakes.

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST COCONUT WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES:

  1.  Cream Butter, Brown Sugar, and Sugar with a mixer for at least 4 minutes, until light and fluffy.  This process is an important step as it creates a smooth texture and adds air into the dough which will help give the cookies volume and loft once they hit the oven.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and then add the vanilla.
  3. Use good-quality white chocolate chips. All white chocolate is not created equal. Guittard and Ghirardelli are the winners hands-down in my book. Add sweetened flaked coconut.
  4. Bake just until the edges begin to turn a light golden brown color. These cookies are meant to be soft and chewy in the center so don’t overbake.

  • 1 cup Butter (softened)
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla
  • 3 cups Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (if using unsalted butter, use 3/4 teaspoon salt)
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups White Chocolate Chips (suggest Guittard or Ghirardelli chips or a mix of chunks and chips)
  • 1 cup Sweetened Coconut Flakes
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar for at least 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.

  2. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla.

  3. Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix just until combined. Stir in white chocolate chips and coconut flakes.
