Ingredients

Coconut Filling

  • 6 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Cookie Dough

  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • This cookie recipe makes 30 cookies.
  • 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.
