Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
  • 1 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 8 oz white chocolate (melted)
  • gel food coloring

Instructions
 

Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars until very light and fluffy.
  • Add salt, vanilla, coconut extract, and egg. Mix until well combined.
  • Add baking soda and flour, mixing until incorporated.
  • Roll dough into 1" balls and place them on a silicone or parchment paper lined cookie sheet 2" apart. Bake 6 minutes. Cookies will stay light in color but will start to get lightly golden around the very edges. Do not over bake!
  • Using the end of a wooden spoon, press carefully into the center of each cookie, to make a well for the filling (be careful to not make a hole in the bottom).
  • Cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Filling

  • Divide melted white chocolate and add food coloring as desired.
  • Place each color of chocolate into a small plastic bag with the corner cut off, and pipe into the well of each cookie.
  • Allow chocolate to set up before storing cookies in an airtight container.
