Beat the cream cheese with the 3/4 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk, and vanilla extract and continue mixing for another minute.
Add the shredded coconut and continue beating until everything is well incorporated.
Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
In a medium size bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda. In the bowl of a mixer add the butter and sugar and beat together until light and fluffy, add the egg and beat until smooth.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until the mixture is stiff but still pliable.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, spoon out about one tablespoon of the cookie dough into your hand. Flatten the dough into a circle that’s about 2 inch to 3 inch in diameter. In the middle of the circle add about a tsp of the coconut mixture and then fold the sides of the cookie dough but do not seal it at the top.
Repeat this with remaining cookie dough.
Place the cookies on a greased cookie sheet or a cookie sheet lined with a silpat.
Bake the cookies for about 18 to 20 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack.
