Scale
For the Crust:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 egg
1 tbsp lemon zest
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix flour, shredded coconut, granulated sugar, butter, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, flatten slightly, and place a small dollop of cream cheese mixture in the center. Fold the dough over to seal.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cool before serving.
