Lemon Coconut Cookie Recipe
These cookies are soft, chewy, and full of bright lemon flavor, combined with the sweet taste of coconut. They are simple to make, and the end result is nothing short of delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, according to preference)
- Additional sugar for rolling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the mixture, and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the shredded coconut gently with a spatula.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. If desired, roll each ball in additional sugar before placing them on the sheet for an extra sweet touch.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn lightly golden. The centers may look a bit soft, but they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your fresh-baked Lemon Coconut Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, and savor each delightful bite!
