Chewy & Buttery Coconut Cookies

Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C).
Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a mixing bowl.
In another bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together.
Beat the egg into this mixture. Add in the vanilla extract.
With your hand mixer on low speed, add your dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
Finally, mix the shredded coconut into your dough.
Grease a cookie sheet or lined baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
Using a spoon or small ice cream/cookie scoop, scoop out the cookie dough onto your pan about three inches apart from each other.
Bake the coconut cookies for 8-10 minutes or until they look mildly toasted.
Leave the cookies on the pan for a couple of minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack for cooling.

Chef Tip: Avoid beating your mixture too much. After step 2, you can avoid using an electric mixer. Your dough should be crumbly for best results!
