Hey everyone!! Here's the recipe for the cookies! I hope you enjoy them as much as my family and I do!!
Coconut Cookies:
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 4 tbsp (or half stick) of butter (room temp!)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips, if wanted
Recipe:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F or 190 degrees C. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. DO NOT use wax paper in the oven!!! The wax will melt and paper can catch on fire!! :( Take out butter to soften at room temp! If I'm crunched on time, I unwrap the butter, put it in the bowl I'll be using for mixing it in, and let it sit in top of the oven while I'm doing the next step!
- Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium sized bowl.
- Grab an electric mixer! Add sugar to the butter and use mixer to beat it until it's creamy and smooth, then add the egg and vanilla and beat again until smooth. Next, add the flour and beat until smooth again. Use a rubber spatula to clean the mixer off to save some of that cookie dough! Your done with the mixer now so you can set that aside.
- Grab a wooden spoon and mix in the shredded coconut until it's even distributed in the dough. Add chocolate chips and mix in, if desired.
- Use a tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough on to parchment-lined cookie sheet, about one inch apart from each other. These cookies don't really grow outwards so don't worry if they're a little closer.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on your oven, mine cooks a little fast. The cookie edges should be golden brown. After they're cooked, put the sheet on a cooling rack until cool. Enjoy!
