Steps:
- Heat oven to 350° F. Spread the coconut on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden, 6 to 8 minutes; let cool. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cooled coconut. With an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat to combine. Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually mix in the flour mixture just until combined (do not overmix). Form the dough into two 12-by-1½-inch logs. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours or up to 2 days. Cut the logs into ⅜-inch slices and place on baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with sugar and bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until golden, 9 to 11 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool. Storage suggestion: Keep the cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:
- Use fresh coconut: Fresh coconut meat has a more intense flavor and a creamier texture than dried or shredded coconut. If you can, try to find fresh coconut at your local grocery store or Asian market.
- Don't overcook the coconut mixture: The coconut mixture should be cooked until it is just starting to thicken. If you overcook it, it will become dry and crumbly.
- Let the coconut slice cool completely before cutting it: This will help to prevent the coconut slice from falling apart.
- Serve the coconut slice chilled: Coconut slice is best served chilled. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Coconut slice is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover coconut meat, and it is also a popular treat in many cultures. With its sweet and creamy flavor, coconut slice is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
