Coconut Sugar Cookies
Have you been baking with coconut sugar? These Coconut Sugar Cookies are based on a classic chewy sugar cookie recipe, but are made with all coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar. The result is a sweet cookie with a deeper caramel-like flavor than the typical sugar cookie.

Makes: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 ¼ cups coconut sugar, plus additional ¼ cup for rolling
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl with a hand mixer), cream together the butter and coconut sugar until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
- Add egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- With mixer on low, gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined (taking care not to over-mix).
- Place remaining ¼ cup coconut sugar in a small bowl. Using your hands, form balls with about 1 ½ Tbsp of dough at a time. Roll balls in sugar and place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Use a drinking glass or the palm of your hand to gently flatten the dough balls a bit.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until cookies are just turning golden on the bottom, but are still soft. Let cool on pan for a couple minutes before moving to wire racks to cool completely.
