Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil melted¹
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour²
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together granulated sugar, egg, and egg yolk until well-combined.
  3. Add melted coconut oil and vanilla; stir well to combine.
  4. Stir in lemon juice and lemon zest.
  5. Stir in flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt; mix until just incorporated.
  6. Add coconut, and stir until just combined.
  7. Using a medium cookie scoop (1 ½ tablespoons), scoop dough.
  8. Roll dough balls in powdered sugar, and then place dough balls on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until middle is set and edges are set. Centers should look soft and underdone.

Notes

  • If the coconut oil is already melted, use 1/2 cup. 
  • Be sure to either weigh or properly measure the flour by sifting, lightly spooning into the measuring cup, and then leveling.
