**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat the Oven:** Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. **Mix Dry Ingredients:** In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set this bowl aside.
3. **Cream Butter and Sugars:** In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
4. **Incorporate Wet Ingredients:** Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well until everything is fully combined.
5. **Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:** Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
6. **Add Mix-Ins:** Fold in the chocolate chips and shredded coconut (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. **Form Cookie Dough Balls:** Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out dough and roll it into balls about the size of a tablespoon. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
8. **Bake the Cookies:** Put the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
9. **Cool and Enjoy:** Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, serve these delightful nut-free cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea.
These “Cookie Without Nuts” are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. They are perfect for any occasion or just as a sweet treat to enjoy throughout the week. Feel free to customize them by adding in other mix-ins like dried fruit or white chocolate chips. Get creative and make these cookies your own. Happy baking!
