Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • Zest of 2 lemons lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup shredded coconut sweetened or unsweetened, as per your preference

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate the lemon zest and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Fold in the white chocolate chips and shredded coconut, evenly distributing them throughout the dough.
Baking
  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between them to allow for spreading.
  2. Bake for around 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, aiming for slightly undercooked centers for a chewy texture.
