Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla extract and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in coconut flakes until evenly distributed.

Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
