Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.25 cups Sesame seeds
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or wooden spoon to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until a dough forms and no dry streaks remain.
Gently fold in the shredded coconut and sesame seeds, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading.
Lightly flatten each mound of dough with the back of a spoon or your fingers for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked—this is okay as they will firm up while cooling.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your sesame coconut cookies with coffee, tea, or as a delicious standalone treat!
