Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

Preparation

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Prepare the Dough:
In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the shredded coconut.

Shape the Cookies:

Bake:
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden. Allow them to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
