Coconut Lemon Drop Cookies image

Was wanting to find a recipe that used lemon pudding and just couldn't find the right one that suited me, so I came up with this one on a whim. It smelled so yummy and the texture is tender and chewy. It is not overly sweet and the coconut adds a bit of crunch. Please try them and let me know what you think. Store in an airtight container.

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and seeds scraped
2 eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon lemon extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 (3.4 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat butter, sugar, and vanilla seeds in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla and lemon extracts.
  • Combine flour, coconut, pudding mix, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add to the creamed mixture in batches, stirring until combined. Drop cookie dough onto baking sheets using a teaspoon or cookie scoop.
