Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
- Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips and shredded coconut, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Whisk together the milk and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing!
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times to bring it together.
