Cranberry Coconut Cookies
Description
These Cranberry Coconut Cookies are made by creaming together room-temperature unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Flour, baking powder, and salt are whisked and gradually combined into the butter mixture to form a dough. Dried cranberries and flaked sweetened coconut are folded in, which adds chewiness and bursts of tartness along with coconut sweetness. The dough is shaped into balls spaced on parchment-lined baking sheets and baked at 350°F for 8 to 11 minutes until edges just begin to color.
The result is a dense yet tender cookie with chewy cranberry and coconut throughout. Their flavor blends the sweetness of butter and sugar with the fruity and tropical notes of the inclusions. These cookies pair well with tea or coffee and can be served as a casual homemade treat.
