Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the cream cheese, egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
