Cocunut Cream Cheese Cookies? Yes Please!

I found a recipe for cream cheese cookies on the internet.  It looked simple and I just happened to have all the ingredients on hand so I thought I'd try it.

What you will need: 1/2 cup butter (at room temp), 3 oz cream cheese (at room temp), 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1 3/4 cup flour, flaked coconut.

Beat the softened butter and cream cheese together.  Add in the sugar until mixed. Beat in the egg and vanilla.  Then add in the baking powder and flour.  Refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Roll the dough into walnut size balls and then roll in flaked coconut. Bake for about 10 minutes, until the coconut is toasted.  The orginal recipe called for rolling the balls in super fine sugar, but I wanted to try crushed walnuts and coconut.  Coconut was the winner!
