Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, melted coconut oil, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the mixture, and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- These cookies can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
- For a chewier texture, chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking.
- For a tropical twist, try adding chopped macadamia nuts or white chocolate chips to the dough.
- You can also substitute lime juice and zest for a lime coconut version for a refreshing change.
