Ingredients

Servings

• 1 cup Unsalted Butter
• ¹⁄₂ cup Granulated Sugar
• ¹⁄₄ cup Brown Sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Baking Powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Sweetened Shredded Coconut
• 1 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable Oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Stir in the sweetened shredded coconut.
5. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
8. Dip the cooled cookies into the melted chocolate, then place them back on the wire rack to set.
9. Allow the chocolate to harden for about 1 hour before serving.
10. Enjoy your homemade Girl Scout Samoa Cookies!
