Ingredients
1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 cups (160 g) sweetened shredded coconut
½ cup (60 g) chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Fold in the shredded coconut and chopped nuts, if using.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy these coconut cookies warm from the oven, paired with a glass of cold milk, a cup of coffee, or tropical fruit tea. They also make a wonderful addition to dessert platters and holiday cookie trays.
Tips for Perfect Coconut Cookies
Toast the shredded coconut before mixing it into the dough for a deeper, nuttier flavor.
Add white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days to keep them fresh and chewy.
