Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup softened butter
- 1 egg
- 1 cup honey (creamed honey recommended)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups quick oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (1–2 minutes).
- Add the egg, honey, and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and beat until smooth and well combined (1–2 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a uniform dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie, roll into a ball, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each ball.
- Bake for 8–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil or vegan butter.
- Replace egg with ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce or a flax egg for a vegan option.
- Maple syrup or agave nectar can be used instead of honey for a vegan-friendly sweetener.
- Whole wheat or gluten-free flour can be used in place of all-purpose flour.
- Enhance flavor with dried fruits, spices, or chocolate chips.
