Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup solid coconut oil, not melted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut, optional

Method
 

  1. Beat solid coconut oil and sugar in a bowl until creamy.
  2. Stir in egg and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Add flour, baking soda, and salt; mix until just combined, then fold in shredded coconut if using.
  4. Scoop dough onto parchment-lined sheets and bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are golden.
  5. Let cool on the sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

The dough can be prepared ahead and chilled overnight. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before scooping if it gets too firm. These cookies freeze well for up to 3 months.
