- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1 cup (two sticks) unsalted butter
- 3/4 confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1 1/2 tsp. coconut extract
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside. In a large bowl, 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.
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a 7-8 inch long by about 2 inches wide log. Cover the logs with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4-5 hours or overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line large baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice the logs into 1/4-inch thick slices and place 1-inch apart on prepared sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to lightly brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Definitely use mini chips so the cookies are easier to slice.
If you only have salted butter just omit the extra kosher salt.
