Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Cashews, roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped cashews using a spatula. If the dough seems too dry, add the milk and mix until the dough comes together.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will still appear slightly soft.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
