½ teaspoon salt
½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened

Directions

Toast the Coconut: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the coconut in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes until the coconut begins to brown. Remove from the oven and transfer to a dish to cool completely.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir with a whisk to mix well.
Make the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, beat the butter and both sugars together using a stand mixer or hand-held mixer on medium-low speed until combined. Add in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla, and continue beating until smooth. Add the flour mixture all at once and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the toasted coconut and white chocolate chips.
Shape the Cookies: Roll the cookie dough into 1 ½ tablespoon-sized balls and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake the Cookies: Bake one sheet of cookies at a time for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly brown and just underdone. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
