- Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the batter and beat just until combined.

- Bake for about 13-15 minutes, or until cookies are set and the coconut has nicely browned. Remove from oven and place on wire rack to cool.
