Servings 2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1 tbsp milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
PREP INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
BAKING INSTRUCTIONS
- Cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the milk and mix just enough to incorporate the liquid into the mixture.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cloves, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients into the wet, beating in between each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.Note: the cookie dough will be very loose, almost like cake batter.
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut flakes to the mixer, then beat until just combined.
- Use a cookie scoop to scoop cookies onto the prepared baking sheets; only place 5-6 cookies per sheet since they will spread in the oven.
- Bake at 350F for 10-11 minutes, until light golden brown. They will still be very soft.
- Remove trays from the oven to a cooling rack. Let the cookies rest 10 minutes, then transfer them from the pan to the cooling rack. Cool completely.
