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.

Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter, room temperature
3 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup Imperial Sugar Light Brown Sugar
1 egg + 1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup white chocolate chips

*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

Directions

In a medium-sized bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, and sugar and mix with paddle attachment on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Add in egg and yolk, vanilla, salt, and baking soda and continue mixing until combined.
Turn mixer to low and add in flour, mixing until just incorporated.
Add in coconut and white chocolate.
Chill dough for at least 2 hours or overnight.
When ready to bake cookies, preheat oven to 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a medium (2 tablespoon sized) cookie scoop, place dough 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set.
Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
