Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded coconut, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
-
If desired, pour some additional shredded coconut onto a plate. Roll the cookie dough into small balls, then gently roll each ball in the coconut to coat.
-
Place the coconut-coated cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
-
Using a fork, gently press down on each cookie to flatten slightly and create a criss-cross pattern on the top.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
-
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, enjoy these delicious Galletas De Coco Coconut Cookies with a warm cup of Mexican hot chocolate or pack them in a tin as a lovely homemade gift for friends and family.
