Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of All-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of rice flour.
In another bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup of lukewarm milk, and mix until just combined. Stir in 1/2 cup of grated coconut and crushed cinnamon sticks.
Drop tablespoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring enough space for the cookies to expand during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Baking time may vary, so keep an eye on the cookies.
Allow the baked cookies to cool on the sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the cookies with powdered sugar, and for a festive touch, add pink sugar or colorful sprinkles.
