Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and the salt, and mix until combined.
Gradually add the flour into the bowl, mixing as you go, until a crumbly dough begins to form.
Stir in the shredded coconut and mix until evenly combined. If the dough is too dry, add the milk one tablespoon at a time until the dough holds together but is not sticky.
Using your hands, shape the dough into small patties about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Bake the patties in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the patties cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the coconut patties as is, or optionally dust them with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
