Why You’ll Love this Recipe
Slice and bake cookies are so incredibly easy to make and perfect to have a log or two stashed in your freezer for unexpected company this summer or for when I’ve had a long day and a few freshly baked cookies at the drop of a hat need to do their magic!
And another bonus about these little beauties is that you know who isn’t a fan of coconut. I know. But whatev…more for me.
This recipe has a short list of ingredients…all-purpose flour, confectioner’s sugar, unsalted butter, mini chips, coconut and vanilla extracts, kosher salt and baking powder and you can easily mix everything together with or without a stand mixer.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- all-purpose flour
- confectioners’ sugar
- unsalted butter
- mini chocolate chips
- vanilla and coconut extracts
- baking powder
- kosher salt
Step-By-Step Instructions
The first step is to whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
The second step is to cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the coconut and vanilla extracts. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Next up you’ll divide it in half and then shape each half into a log that’s approximately 7-8 inches long and about 2 inches wide. You’ll wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4-5 hours or overnight.
The last step is to bake the cookies. You’ll remove the logs from the fridge and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices and bake. I bake mine for about 10-12 minutes or until I see the edges beginning to lightly brown.
The logs freeze really well, so they’re perfect to keep in your freezer for when the craving hits. They’re just perfect with a cold glass of milk. Hope you try them guys!

A Few Cook’s Notes for Coconut Chocolate Chip Slice and Bake Cookies
Definitely use mini chips so the cookies are easier to slice.
If you only have salted butter just omit the extra kosher salt.

A slice and bake cookie is such a nice option! The kids would probably love helping with these too. And you can never go wrong with coconut and chocolate :)
I love that combo Katherine!
These cookies look great! I would love to have a roll or 2 on hand to make fresh baked cookies at a moments notice.
Thanks Amy! They’re perfect for unexpected company!
Slice and bake cookies are so convenient and so delicious!! Love this classic flavor combination, Mary Ann!
Thanks Marissa! One of my favorite flavor combos!
Oh My!! I’m a coconut fan… but add chocolate and I’m ALL in! These look perfect, Mare. I love the ease of shortbread cookies. Simple ingredients with delicious results!
I can never pass up the chocolate coconut combo Traci!
Oh my!! These cookies are absolutely incredible! They are light, buttery, and just melt in your mouth. The hint of coconut with the chocolate had me thinking of a mounds bar which is one of my faves!
What I would love to see is this same tender cookie base with lemon/lemon zest or lemon and ginger or even chai spice! Not sure how the recipe would need to be adjusted to accomplish that, but the base is so just sooooo stellar that I want to eat it again and again flavored in a ton of different ways 😋😋😋
So happy you enjoy these Diane! They’d be absolutely delicious in a lemon version or a chai version! My wheels are spinning! Thanks for the inspiration!
