1 teaspoon baking powder
03 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
04 -
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 -
3/4 cup granulated sugar
06 -
1 large egg
07 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and put parchment paper on your baking sheet.
02 -
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
03 -
Use a mixer to beat the soft butter and sugar for about 2-3 minutes until it looks pale and fluffy.
04 -
Stir in the egg, vanilla, and red food coloring until everything's blended and the color is even.
05 -
Slowly add the dry stuff to your butter mix, stirring just enough to form a dough.
06 -
Take some dough, flatten it in your palm, put a piece of white chocolate in the middle, and wrap the dough around it. Roll into balls and place them on your lined baking sheet.
07 -
Pop them in the hot oven for 30 to 45 minutes until they're set but still soft-looking on top.
08 -
When they're still warm, brush each cookie with water or sugar syrup. Roll them right away in shredded coconut so it sticks all over.
09 -
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before you eat them.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For the brightest red color, go with gel food coloring. Don't leave them in too long or they won't stay soft and cakey inside.
