- In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light in color and butter is absorbed, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg, egg yolk, vanilla and coconut extract. Beat another minute until light and creamy. Scrape down sides when necessary.
