Ingredients

• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 160 grams shredded sweetened coconut

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until the mixture is 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 until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your homemade coconut cookies with a cup of coffee or tea!
