How To Make coconut filled chocolate cookies

1
Prepare Coconut Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar in small mixer bowl until creamy; add flour and vanilla. Stir in coconut and nuts. Cover and chill.

3
Divide dough in half; roll each half between wax paper into a 7x4 1/2 inch rectangle. Shape half the chilled filling into 7 inch long roll; place lengthwise on one rectangle of dough. Wrap dough around filling, sealing the long edge. Repeat procedure with remaining filling and dough. Wrap rolls tightly in wax paper; chill several hours or overnight.
