Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer, until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until just combined.
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 a dough starts to form.
Step 6
Stir in the shredded coconut and milk until evenly incorporated.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the 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 may look slightly soft, which is fine.
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
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
