2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt
2 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 tsp lime zest
6 tbsp unsalted butter

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and line a baking sheet with parchment or lightly grease it with cooking oil.
Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Beat the cream cheese, butter, vegetable oil, coconut, lime zest, egg, milk, and lime juice in a second bowl.
Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture until a soft dough forms.
