For a richer coconut flavor, lightly toast the coconut flakes before adding them to the dough. Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best taste. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and chewy texture.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats. (5 minutes)
In a large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar and coconut oil until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. (7 minutes)
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and sweetened coconut flakes. (5 minutes)
Drop cookie dough by the tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between each cookie. (8 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies have turned slightly golden brown and are set, 12 to 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (15 minutes)
