| 1/2 cup | Sugar |
| 1/4 cup | Brown sugar |
| 1/2 cup | Butter |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1 | Vanilla |
| 1 cup | Flour |
| 1/2 tsp | Baking soda |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 1 cup | Flaked coconut |

Instructions:
-
Cream together sugars and butter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Beat until the mixture achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.
-
-
Add eggs and vanilla. Incorporate the egg and vanilla into the sugar and butter mixture. Continue mixing until well combined.
-
Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt and mix well. Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until the dough forms and all dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Stir in chocolate chips, coconut, and walnuts. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, flaked coconut, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Chill dough for 30 minutes. Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This chilling process helps solidify the dough and enhances the flavor.
-
Drop by spoonfuls on a cookie sheet. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dollops of chilled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart to allow for spreading.
-
Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes. Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
-
Enjoy! Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy these delectable chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
