Ingredients

• 120 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 100 grams Desiccated coconut
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.

Step 3

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the desiccated coconut, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

If the dough feels too dry, add 1 tablespoon of milk and mix until the dough holds together easily.

Step 8

Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the lined baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still slightly soft.

Step 11

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
