Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (160g) sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup (120ml) condensed milk
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup (60g) butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together 1/4 cup (60g) softened butter and 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes with a hand mixer or 5-6 minutes by hand.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 cup (120ml) condensed milk to the butter mixture and mix until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in 2 cups (160g) sweetened shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
- Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown and crispy but centers remain soft.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Do not overbake to keep the chewy center. Use sweetened shredded coconut for best flavor and texture. Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if too sticky. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flour blend. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and use coconut condensed milk.
