Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar together until fluffy.
  • Add the egg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
  • Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
