Coconut Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup butter
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups shredded coconut
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies will bake evenly and to perfection.
-
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, beat the egg until it’s well combined. Then, add the softened butter to the bowl and cream together with the egg until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Incorporate Sugars: Once the butter and egg are creamed together, it’s time to add the sugars. Pour in the white sugar and brown sugar, then continue to cream everything together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: Now, it’s time to add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, and baking soda into the bowl. Mix everything together until you have a thick, dough-like consistency.
-
Form Cookie Dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion out the cookie dough into small balls and place them onto a lined baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
-
Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are set. Keep an eye on them towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning.
-
Cool and Enjoy: Once the cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, indulge in these heavenly Coconut Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage!
