Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Sift the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

Cream the butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Slowly add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Add the coconut: Stir in the flaked coconut, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Shape the cookies: Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them out as the cookies will spread and flatten during baking.

Bake the cookies: Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.

Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
