Lemon White Chocolate Coconut Cookies

Hi Everyone!
At the assisted living center where I work, we get this lemon white chocolate cookie dough. I really love those cookies so I decided to see if I could make them at home. I modified my basic chocolate chip cookie recipe, substituting white chocolate chips for the semi-sweet, adding coconut, lemon extract, lemon zest, and a little lemon juice. Here's the recipe.

Lemon White Chocolate Coconut Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons lemon extract
zest of 3 lemons
about 2 Tablespoons lemon juice (you don't want too much or the cookie dough will be too wet)
2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bag of white chocolate chips
about 1 cup shredded coconut


1. Cream butter and sugar together. Stir in egg, lemon extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add flour, baking soda, and salt, and stir till just combined.
2. Stir in white chocolate chips and coconut. Drop by tablespoonfuls on greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 375F. Take off cookie sheet to cool.
