Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and shredded coconut.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until fully combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them a few inches apart.

Notes
Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for the best texture. Don’t overmix the dough; mix just until everything is combined to keep the cookies tender.
