Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3.4 oz Coconut Creme instant pudding mix (Jell-O Brand)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 cups white chocolate chunks or chips

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the Coconut Creme instant pudding mix to the creamed mixture and mix until well combined.
  4. Crack in the eggs and pour in the vanilla extract. Mix until everything is smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the sweetened shredded coconut and white chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for chewier cookies.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
