Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup canned coconut milk or coconut cream
¾ cup cacao nibs or mini chocolate chips
¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Topping

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
¼ cup cacao nibs or mini chocolate chips


Instructions

  • Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients

    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  • Cream Butter and Sugar

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.

    • Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

  • Incorporate Coconut Milk

    • Gradually add the coconut milk or coconut cream to the butter mixture, mixing until smooth.

  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

    • Fold in the cacao nibs or mini chocolate chips and the shredded coconut.

  • Shape Cookies

    • Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

    • Gently flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon.

  • Add Toppings

    • Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with additional shredded coconut and cacao nibs or mini chocolate chips.

  • Bake

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

  • Cool

    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Coconut Milk vs. Coconut Cream: Using coconut cream will yield a richer, denser cookie, while coconut milk provides a lighter texture.
  • Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before baking.
  • Add-ins: Feel free to add chopped nuts or dried fruit for additional texture and flavor.
