OK, so these are pretty much amazing. Super chewy, crispy, chewy, rich, chewy. The fact that these cookies were the size of Jonas's head did not stop us each from eating 2 or 3 or 4. :) Unless you feel good about your body image after eating 2 cups worth of butter plan on giving some of these away, or at least only make half the batch.So, I saw someone make this cookie on Martha Stewart then I looked up the recipe on her site, but the recipes were not the same.... So here is my version:
2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 3/4 cups dark brown sugar (light brown sugar would be fine)
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
8 cups of flaked coconut (and if you can find it and afford it, get the coconut chips)
Directions:
Cream together butter and granulated sugar. Add brown sugar and mix well. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add flour mixture to the creamed mixture and mix until combined. Mix in coconut.
Using a 2 inch ice cream scoop, scoop dough onto parchment paper lined baking sheets. (6 cookies per pan) Flatten dough slightly. Put baking sheets in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 350 degrees, and cook for 14-16 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool. You will be tempted to eat them at this point, very very tempted. But really, let them cool on the pan for at least 20 minutes.
This makes about 24-28 big cookies.
