I love Coconut Macaroons and I really wanted a cookie that was similar to what that cookie offered my tastebuds. I had a recipe for a coconut cookie, but it was more thin and crispy than thick and chewy. And while thin and crispy may be good for some, I’m more of a thick and chewy kind of girl.
So, with a little tweaking, I was able to come up with this delicious morsel of buttery goodness.
This is another pudding cookie and the thing I adore about these type of recipes, is that you can really transform them into totally different cookies by using the same base and changing up a few ingredients.
I hope you enjoy the newest addition to our cookie family but if you don’t enjoy coconut, you will not enjoy this cookie and while that hurts my heart just a bit, you have been warned.
As always, read the entire recipe and all of the notes prior to starting this process.

Instructions
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350°F. LINE A BAKING SHEET WITH PARCHMENT PAPER
SIFT TOGETHER:
- Flour
- Baking Soda
- Salt
After dry ingredients are sifted, add the pudding mix and stir. TIP: The pudding mix does have some coconut flakes in it, which makes it very difficult to sift. Adding after dry ingredients are sifted is going to save you some frustration.
USING A HAND MIXER OR A STAND MIXER WITH A PADDLE ATTACHMENT (RECOMMENDED), CREAM:

It's important to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. About 5 minutes. Be sure to scrape down the sides of your bowl periodically.
Once butter and sugars are thoroughly creamed, add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add vanilla extract, mix well.
Slowly add dry ingredients, be sure to mix well and scrape down the sides of your bowl. Mix until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
Once dry ingredients are mixed well, add sweetened coconut flakes.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop onto prepared baking sheet and bake in a 350° oven for 13-15 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
Notes
This cookie is also super delicious with some chopped pecans. Depending on how nutty you like your cookies, use 1/2 cup - 1 cup chopped pecans.
Depending on whatever tool you choose to use to scoop these cookies, your cooking time could increase or decrease accordingly. I use the #24 red scoop and when using that scoop, my cookies take about 13 minutes at 350°.
While you can certainly use spoons to scoop your cookies, using a scoop ensures tha all your cookies will be the same size and shape.
Adding pudding to this cookie makes it somewhat delicate. Let cool completely to avoid the cookie from falling apart.
The scoop I use yields me about 24 cookies. Depending on the tool you use to scoop your cookies, you could yield more or less.
