Coconut Oil Sugar Cookies

Description

These Coconut Oil Sugar Cookies are a delightful twist on the classic sugar cookie. Made with rich, tropical coconut oil, they bake up with a tender, buttery texture that tastes wonderfully similar to shortbread — only softer, moister, and incredibly melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

The coconut oil gives them a subtle, naturally sweet aroma and keeps them perfectly tender for days. For that beautiful sparkling finish, roll the tops in granulated sugar, colorful sanding sugar, or warm cinnamon sugar right before baking. They’re perfect for holidays, cookie exchanges, or everyday treats with a cup of coffee or tea. Simple, versatile, and irresistibly good — these just might become your new favorite cookie!

Ingredients

• 1 ¼ white sugar
• ½ cup butter (softened)
• ½ cup coconut oil
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose-flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet lightly or line with parchment paper.
2. Beat sugar, butter, and coconut oil together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking powder, and baking soda gradually; mix until dough just comes together.
3. Mix dough with hands to fully incorporate ingredients. Roll dough into walnut-size balls and place 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until tops are cracked, 10 to 12 minutes.
