Chewy Coconut Cookies


These cookies are so simple but so good.  And if you add a little drizzle of chocolate they almost taste like an Almond Joy.  Yum.  :)  They are buttery and chewy and perfect with a cup of coffee during the afternoon crash.  You know what I'm talking about.   These cookies are a great little pick me up, and take no time at all to throw together.  Enjoy!

Chewy Coconut Cookies

1 1⁄4 cup all purpose flour
1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 cup butter (1 stick)
1 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3⁄4 cup sweetened flaked coconut



Melted chocolate, optional

Directions:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  


In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt - set aside.  


In a mixing bowl, beat together butter and light brown sugar until creamy.  Add egg and vanilla and mix well.  Next add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.  Stir in coconut.

Loosely form 1" ball, or drop by a spoon, and place onto a parchment lined baking sheet.


Bake about 8 or 9 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.


When cool, drizzle with melted chocolate if you prefer.
