Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is well combined and forms a sticky dough.
Using a tablespoon, scoop small portions of the dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of the spoon to form thin rounds about 2 inches in diameter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the crisps to cool completely on the trays. They will firm up as they cool.
Carefully transfer the cooled crisps to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 5 days.
