Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Light brown sugar
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 75 grams Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 75 grams Cornflakes or crispy rice cereal
- 50 grams Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the shredded coconut and cereal, being careful not to crush the cereal too much. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie as they will spread slightly during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
