Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and beat on low speed until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the shredded sweetened coconut using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
