**Coconut Cookie From Scratch**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 cups shredded coconut
– 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
6. Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week (if they last that long!).
