  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
