Soft in the center with delicately crisp edges, these Coconut Sugar Cookies bring a tropical twist to a classic treat. Made with coconut sugar and shredded coconut, these naturally sweet cookies are buttery, simple, and perfect for holidays, tea parties, or cozy everyday baking.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup coconut sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and coconut sugar until light and fluffy.

  2. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well blended.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.

  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.

  5. Fold in the shredded coconut.

  6. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.

  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  8. Roll out chilled dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into shapes using cookie cutters.

  9. Place cookies on baking sheet, sprinkle with extra shredded coconut, and bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are golden.

  10. Let cool on a wire rack before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For extra coconut flavor, toast some of the shredded coconut before mixing or topping.

  • These cookies freeze well—store dough or baked cookies in airtight containers.

  • Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice twist.
