🍒🥥 Cherry Coconut Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup (130g) creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar

1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup (50g) sweetened shredded coconut

3/4 cup (90g) dried cherries or halved maraschino cherries (well drained)

Optional: 1/4 cup (40g) mini chocolate chips or chopped roasted peanuts

Directions:
1. Make the Dough:
In a large bowl, cream together butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.

In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until combined.
Fold in shredded coconut and cherries (plus chocolate chips or nuts, if using).

2. Chill:
Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. This helps intensify the flavors and prevents spreading.

3. Bake:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Scoop 1.5 tbsp-sized portions of dough and place 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie with your hand or the back of a spoon.
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden on the edges and just set in the center.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

🍪 Tips:
For a softer cookie, don’t overbake — they continue cooking slightly while cooling.

Swap in almond butter for a different twist or use dark chocolate chunks for extra indulgence.

These freeze beautifully and taste even better the next day!
