Photo: White Chocolate-Coconut Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut flakes
For garnish:
- 8 ounces white chocolate, melted
- 3/4 cup toasted, shredded coconut flakes
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, flour and salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy with a hand held electric mixer. Beat in the egg. Add the dry ingredients and beat until just combined. Fold in the oats, vanilla extract and shredded coconut flakes.
Form walnut-sized balls of the mixture and drop 2 inches apart onto parchment paper-lined sheet pans. Bake in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes until the bottoms of the cookies are golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely.
When the cookies are cool, dip them halfway into the melted white chocolate and then into the toasted shredded coconut flakes. Set them down onto parchment paper-lined sheet pans to dry completely.

I followed some other reviews and altered the recipe...
1 1/2c Flour
1 1/2 stick butter
1c sugar
2 eggs
Also used old fashioned oats, all I had.
...... I made a little bit bigger at first but stick to a walnut size because they do expand... Ive never had luck with white chocolate and getting it into a creamy consistency so when i spread it on with a spatula.

I was looking to use up a bag of white chocolate chips, I was excited to find a recipe by Paula Deen. I did not read the reviews as everything Paula makes is usually pretty good. The cookies are dry and too crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly as written. I would not make these again. The entire batch went in the trash.

This cookie has the potential to be really good but has such an overpowering BUTTER taste! I thought 2 sticks of butter was too much but I made it as directed anyway. Next time I'll try just 1 stick of butter and add 2 eggs (instead of 1. It is definitely worth trying to alter it to taste.
