I make these for Victor’s mom. She loves coconut!

• 2 cups flour
• 2 cups shredded coconut, chopped in processor
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp vanilla
• 1 tsp coconut extract
• 2 cups minced shredded coconut for rolling cookies

Preheat oven to 350°.

Whisk together flour, coconut, baking powder, and salt.

Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla, and coconut extract. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined.

Using a 1 tbsp scoop, form into balls and roll in coconut.

Place on cookie sheets and bake for 14 minutes, rotating pans halfway through.

Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
