Ingredients
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, softened (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 to 3 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda dissolved in 2 teaspoons hot water
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups flaked coconut
2 1/2 cups chocolate chips (see Cook's Note)
1 cup dried cherries (put them in a small bowl and snip them in half with kitchen scissors)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the milk, vanilla and baking soda mixture. Combine the flour, salt and cinnamon and slowly add to the butter mixture. Fold in the coconut, chocolate chips and cherries.
- Drop mounds of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until the edges are lightly browned, 10 to 14 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Cook’s Note
Don't use butter directly from refrigerator. If you use salted butter, omit the salt in the recipe. I generally use 1 cup dark chocolate chips, 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips.
