Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
- Add the softened butter to the dry mixture, and cream it together until the mixture becomes fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. You should have a smooth dough at this point.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart as they will spread during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking!
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
