Coconut Cream Cheese White Chocolate Chip Cookies
Soft baked with a chewy centre and creamy flavour, these one bowl cookies are packed full of white chocolate chips and coconut.
I swear there aren't many more coconut recipes to come for a while. I haven't even blogged all of the ones I've made recently. I don't know what it is - only that every time I go looking for inspiration for a bake the jar of coconut on the side always catches my eye. I was choosing what cake to make last week when the same thing happened but seeing as I had already made these cookies I forced myself to choose another recipe.
Soft baked with a chewy centre and creamy flavour, these one bowl cookies are packed full of white chocolate chips and coconut.
Ingredients
- 85g butter, melted and cooled
- 85g cream cheese
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg + 1 large yolk
- 150g soft brown sugar
- 60g dessicated coconut
- 285g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.75 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 200g white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Set the oven to 180 C/160 C fan and line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
- Whisk together the cooled melted butter with the cream cheese and vanilla extract. Mix in the egg and yolk followed by the sugar then the coconut.
- Sift in the flour, baking poweder and bicarbonate of soda. Fold in until just combined followed by the chocolate chips, reserving a few for the top of the cookies if you wish. Chill the dough for a short while if it is very soft.
- Place balls of dough on the bakng sheet leaving space in between them. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 mins depending on how crisp you like your cookies. Remove from the oven and leave in the tray for a few mins. Press each one slightly to flatten and press any reserved chocolate chips into the top.
- When the cookies have firmed up enough, transfer to a wire rack to cool.
