- 1½ cups (120g) desiccated coconut
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt

👩🍳 Instructions
- Cream the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the wet ingredients: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Shape the cookies: Scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray and gently flatten each one.
Optional: Sprinkle a little extra coconut on top for added crunch and aroma. - Bake to perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.
