Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded coconut ((sweetened or unsweetened))
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the shredded coconut, and if you're using them, add the chocolate chips or nuts.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between each cookie as they will spread a little.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked, but they'll firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
