Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour. Stir until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a separate small bowl, lightly whisk the eggs. Add the whisked eggs, vanilla extract, and salt to the dry ingredients, mixing until everything is fully combined.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently shape each drop into a small mound with your fingers if needed, ensuring they hold together well.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the coconut drops are golden brown on the edges and set in the center.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the coconut drops cool for 5–10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these delightful coconut drops as a snack, dessert, or with your favorite cup of tea or coffee.
