When our family gathered at my aunt's summer home on Mackinac Island a few years back, she pulled out her tried-and-true recipe and made these wholesome cookies. I think of her and that memorable vacation every time I make these for my own family.

CHEWY COCONUT COOKIES
These cookies are so chewy and delicious! Margarine or real butter work well but the real butter I think gives it that extra flavor:) The key is to under bake them. I usually take them out once they're semi golden and put them on a cooling rack immediately. Easy to make!

CHEWY COCONUT-PECAN COOKIES RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside. In another mixing bowl and using a hand mixer, beat together the butter and both sugars until creamy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until fluffy. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until well combined. Fold in the coconut and pecans. Lightly cover the bowl of dough and put in the freezer for about 20 minutes. (Rolling into balls will be easier.) Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place about 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until set. They will look a bit undercooked and won't be brown. (If you bake them until they begin to brown, the cookies will turn out crispy instead of chewy.) Let stand on baking sheet for 1 minute, then carefully transfer cookies with a flat metal spatula to a wire rack to cool. Note: These cookies spread out to almost flat when they bake, that's the way they should be because they don't have any baking powder in them. *Most flaked coconut has long strands that I didn't want in the cookies so I pulsed it in the food processor using the steel blade until desired size.

Steps:

Drop the cookie dough into small balls (slightly under a tablespoon) on your prepared cookie sheet 3 inches apart.

Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 to 10 minutes, then continue cooling on a wire rack.
