Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter
• 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut, toasted
• Pecan halves

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

   • Before you begin, make sure to have all your ingredients ready. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
   • Toast the shredded coconut by spreading it evenly on a baking sheet and baking it for about 10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even toasting.

2. Cream Together Butter and Cream Cheese:

   • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

3. Add Egg and Milk:

   • Once the mixture is creamy, add the egg and milk. Beat the mixture well until everything is fully incorporated.

4. Incorporate Flour and Coconut:

   • Stir in the all-purpose flour gradually until a smooth cookie dough forms.
   • Gently fold in the toasted shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

5. Drop Cookie Batter:

   • Using a teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of the cookie batter onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them apart to allow for spreading during baking.

6. Add Pecan Halves:

   • Press a pecan half onto the top of each cookie dough mound, gently pressing it down into the dough.

7. Bake:

   • Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake the cookies at 325°F (165°C) for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

8. Cool and Serve:

   • Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
   • Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes before serving.
