Preheat oven to 375 degrees F

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside

In a large stand mixer or mixing bowl on high, beat softened butter for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar and cream until nice and fluffy

Add baking powder and salt and mix until well combined

Add eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract

Lower the speed of the mixer and add flour

Turn off mixer and stir in chocolate chips and coconut

Transfer the dough onto a floured work surface

Sprinkle the dough with flour and shape into a log about 1/4 inch thick

Using a floured knife, slice 12 long strips then make one long cut down the center of the 12 strips making 24 pieces. They dough will be sticky so you might have to wipe your knife off in between cuttings

With floured hands, transfer the slices onto the prepared baking sheet
