How to Make Christmas Coconut Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and shredded coconut in a separate bowl. Gradually mix these into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for an extra festive touch!
Notes
Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for best results. Avoid overmixing the dough after adding flour and coconut.
