Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these detailed steps to create perfectly chewy and flavorful jam-filled coconut cookies.
1. Prepare the Dough
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This process should take about 2–3 minutes using an electric mixer.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
2. Chill the Dough
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Chilling ensures the cookies retain their shape during baking and enhances the flavor.
3. Preheat the Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
4. Form and Coat the Cookies
- Shape the Dough: Scoop out 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball.
- Coat with Coconut: Roll each dough ball in shredded coconut, pressing gently so the coconut adheres well.
- Indent the Center: Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, press a small indentation into the center of each cookie.
5. Fill with Jam
- Spoon a small amount of jam (about 1/2 teaspoon) into the center of each cookie. Be careful not to overfill to prevent the jam from spilling during baking.
