8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 large egg |

2. In the food processor, place the coconut and pulse for 1-second intervals about a dozen times.
3. The object it to make the coconut smaller but not to grind it too fine.
4. In a bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and salt.

6. Beat until smooth again.

11. After the cookies have cooled, remove from the paper.
