Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup shredded coconut, sweetened
• 0.5 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar (optional, for garnish)

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, cream together the unsalted butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer or whisk until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and salt, mixing until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Gently fold in the shredded coconut with a spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 1 inch of space between each cookie.

Step 7

Flatten the top of each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Do not overbake.

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

Once cooled, drizzle the top of each cookie with sweetened condensed milk for a glossy finish and extra sweetness.

Step 11

Optionally, dust the cookies with a light sprinkle of confectioners’ sugar before serving.

Step 12

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
