These coconut chocolate chip cookies are crispy on the outside, chewy and moist on the inside. The coconut flakes give them a bit of tooth, and there's generously rich chocolate flavor from the coarsely chopped dark chocolate bar.
6oz (174g)dark chocolate, roughly chopped into chunks - I used 72% cacao
½cup (46g)unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat oven to 360 F - position oven rack in center.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda. Whisk to combine all ingredients.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Add egg and mix until fully incorporated. Scrape down bowl of mixer as needed.
Add flour mixture to the butter and combine until just mixed. Remove mixer from stand. Add chocolate chunks and coconut, and use a spatula to blend them into the dough.
Using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, portion 8 cookies at a time onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake one sheet at a time on the center rack for 10-12 minutes, until just lightly golden and set in the middle.
Remove and place on a rack to cool.
Repeat with remaining dough, making sure to always use a fully cooled cookie sheet.
