Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup unsalted butter , softened to room temperature
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg , room temperature
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
2 teaspoons boiling water

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. In a large bowl beat the butter, sugars & honey together until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla and continue mixing. In a separate medium sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on low to low-medium speed until almost combined. Then beat in the boiling water and coconut. Drop the cookie dough into small balls (slightly under a tablespoon) on your prepared cookie sheet 3 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are just starting to brown and the tops are beginning to set. Allow to cool on the cookie sheet for about 5 to 10 minutes, then continue cooling on a wire rack.
