Coconut Cookies

I formed the cookies first and put them in the fridge to harden a little, then proceeded to roll the tops in chopped hazelnuts.

Coconut Cookies

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp. Baking soda
Pinch of salt
½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
¾ cup sugar (1 cup if you wish for them to be sweeter)
1 egg
½ tsp. coconut extract
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1. Preheat to 350
2. Sift dry ingredients (not including the coconut, save this for last)
3. Beat butter and sugar until blended well, approximately 3 minutes
4. Add egg and extract
5. Gradually incorporate flour, do not over mix
6. With that in mind, mix in the coconut

Form the dough. I used a cookie scoop, which will work wonderfully if you chill the dough before-hand. You can choose to either flatten the cookie or not.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
