Make soft, chewy coconut cookies that taste like they came from a bakery. This easy homemade recipe uses simple ingredients for rich coconut flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Stir in the shredded coconut and the sweetened condensed milk until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra chewy coconut cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before scooping.
  • You can substitute almond extract with more vanilla extract if you prefer a pure coconut flavor.
  • These homemade coconut cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
