Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 120 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 bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the unsalted 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 bowl and mix until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold the shredded sweetened coconut into the dough using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
Step 8
Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should appear soft but set.
Step 10
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Serve and enjoy these buttery coconut cookies as a delightful snack or dessert!
