Scale
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment mix the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2 minutes on medium speed. Add in the eggs, vanilla, salt, and baking soda and mix until smooth, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary.
- Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just combined then add in the coconut mixing until incorporated.
