Chewy Coconut Cookies will make again and again might try some rum or rum flavoring to give them a pina colada twist, but this recipe is delicious as is.

Ingredients of Chewy Coconut Cookies

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/3 cups flaked coconut

Preparation of Chewy Coconut Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

In a medium bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth. 

Beat in the egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Gradually blend in the flour mixture, then mix 

in the coconut. 

Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Cookies should be about 3 inches apart.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly toasted. Cool on wire racks.
