Instructions
Wet Ingredients
Place softened butter into a large bowl and with either a hand mixer or a stand mixer, mix on low until smooth.
Add in corn syrup and brown sugar, mix on medium for about 2 minutes until well combined and creamy.
Next, add in your egg and extracts, and mix until combined.
Dry Ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients, except for the coconut flakes.
Slowly, pour your flour mixture into the wet ingredients bowl, and mix together on low. Mix until just combined. (Do not overmix your batter. and gently scrape your sides of your bowl so all of the ingredients are incorporated.)
Fold in your shredded coconut flakes. (Start with just 1 cup and add more in, if desired.)
Assembling and Chilling
Line a cookie tray with either parchment paper or a baking mat.
Scoop 2 tablespoons worth of cookie dough and gently roll it into a ball (or use a cookie scooper or a 2 tablespoon measuring spoon). Place cookie dough balls unto mat.
Once cookies are all lined (spacing does not matter too much here), cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour in the freezer.
Baking
Once your cookies have chilled, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Transfer your cookie dough balls onto another cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper or a baking mat, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 11-13 minutes or until your cookies are just golden on the edges and the center of the cookies are no longer shiny looking.
Remove cookie sheet from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the sheets for 10 minutes before removing them.
Notes
Store cookies in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
