Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Toasted shredded coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until a crumbly dough forms.
Fold in the toasted shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Transfer the dough onto a clean surface and gently knead until it comes together. Do not overwork the dough.
Roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness and use a cookie cutter of your choice to cut out shapes.
Place the cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy, or store in an airtight container for up to one week.
