Coconut Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup sugar (granulated or powdered)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Introduction:
Coconut cookies are a delicious treat that combines the rich flavor of coconut with a slightly crisp and chewy texture. These simple cookies are perfect for tea time or as a quick snack. With just a few ingredients, you can whip up these sweet delights in no time. The added coconut on top gives them an extra burst of flavor and texture, making them irresistible!
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine the mixture: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Form cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Optionally, roll each ball in extra shredded coconut for a coconut-coated exterior.
- Bake: Place the cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these coconut cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
