Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
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, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until creamy and smooth.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat again until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into small balls and roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
Step 8
Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and slightly crispy. The centers should remain soft.
Step 10
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 11
Enjoy your Coconut Crackle Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
