Ingredients
- ¾ cup of granulated sugar
- ½ cup of firm coconut oil
- An ample egg
- A dash of vanilla essence
- A generous cup of all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- A luscious cup of chocolate chips
- A full cup of sweet coconut shavings
Step 1
To begin, preheat your oven to a cozy 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with either parchment paper or nonstick baking mats.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar and coconut oil, whisking them together until they form a light and fluffy mixture. Add in the egg and a splash of vanilla for a touch of sweetness.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to create a harmonious blend of dry ingredients. Gently incorporate this mixture into the creamy oil and sugar base. Then, fold in a generous amount of chocolate chips and a sprinkle of coconut flakes for a delightful texture.
Step 4
Using a tablespoon, drop dollops of the cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheets, making sure to leave some space (about 1 1/2 inches) between each cookie for them to spread and bake evenly.
Step 5
Pop the baking sheets into the preheated oven and let the magic happen as the cookies bake to a golden brown perfection, typically taking around 12 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye out for that delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen – it's a sign that your sweet treats are almost ready to be enjoyed!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your chocolate chips in a cool, dry place to prevent them from melting and clumping together. A pantry or cupboard with good air circulation is ideal.
- 2. Store your shredded coconut in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and prevent it from becoming stale.
