Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For an extra touch of flavor, try toasting the shredded coconut before adding it to the dough. This will bring out its natural sweetness and add a nutty dimension to the cookies.
If you don't have coconut extract on hand, you can substitute it with an equal amount of vanilla extract, or simply omit it. The cookies will still be delicious with the coconut flakes.
The chilled dough logs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Just be sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn.
These cookies are best enjoyed within a few days of baking. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crispness.
