Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Desiccated coconut
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a dough forms.
Fold in the desiccated coconut, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the dough.
If the dough feels too dry, add 1 tablespoon of milk and mix until the dough holds together easily.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the lined baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the back of a spoon.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
