Buttery Brazil Nut and Coconut Cookies

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and mix until just combined.

4. 4

   Fold in the chopped Brazil nuts and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.

5. 5

   Scoop the dough by the tablespoonful onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.

6. 6

   Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms of the cookies are lightly browned. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
