A mouthful to say and an absolute delight to eat, White Chocolate Coconut Cream Cheese Cookies pack the 3 big C ingredients: coconut, chocolate, and cream cheese. Rich, creamy white chocolate chips combine with the sweet, tropical notes of shredded coconut. This combo alone could steal the show, but the real twist comes with the addition of cream cheese, which lends a tangy undertone that cuts through the sweetness just perfectly, creating a blend of flavors that's rich, yet not overwhelming. The end result is a cookie that's crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside and boasts a flavor fusion that's utterly irresistible.

Products Used

1 lb. Light Brown Sugar Box

6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup Imperial Sugar Light Brown Sugar
