Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and beat until fully combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, portion the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 8
Gently flatten the tops of the dough balls with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Step 10
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy these coconut-infused sugar cookies, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
