Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
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.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold the shredded sweetened coconut into the dough using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place them 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should appear soft but set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these buttery coconut cookies as a delightful snack or dessert!
