Ingredients
2 3/4 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
baking powder
1 cup
butter, softened
1 1/2 cups
white sugar
1
egg
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1/4 cup
grated coconut, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 cup
toasted sesame seeds, plus more for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F. In a bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
- In a larger bowl, mix together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients along with coconut and sesame seeds.
- Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle cookies with sesame seeds or the grated coconut.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks. Sprinkle more sesame seeds or coconut on top of cookies if you want. I think they look prettier if you do ;)
