Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease your cookie sheets. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer. Beat in the egg and coconut extract until well combined. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant mashed potato flakes and biscuit baking mix. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving some space between each cookie. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden brown and the tops are still pale. For the chewiest cookies, avoid overbaking. (12 minutes)

06

Step

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use browned butter instead of softened butter.
If you don't have biscuit baking mix, you can make your own by combining flour, baking powder, and salt.
Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their chewy texture.
