Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
1 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs room temperature
2 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
2 tablespoons boiling water

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In the bowl of your stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and honey on medium speed for about four minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated, and then add the vanilla extract.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the flour mixture.
Gently stir in the coconut and water until just combined.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, scoop the mixture onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving some space between each scoop.
Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for nine to eleven minutes, until the cookies are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the baking sheet and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Allow the cookies to cool on the sheets before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
