Taro cookie sandwiches with creamy coconut filling are a delightful and unique treat that beautifully blends the rich, slightly nutty flavor of taro with the sweetness of coconut. These colorful and soft cookie sandwiches make for perfect festive additions to your holiday cookie platter or a special dessert to share with family and friends.

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cookie transfer.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, taro powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until they are evenly mixed. Set the bowl aside.
3. Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
4. Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Slowly pour in the coconut milk and continue to mix until the dough is smooth.
6. Shape the Cookies: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each to allow for spreading.
7. Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Prepare the Coconut Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in the sweetened shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
9. Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the cookies are completely cool, take one cookie and spread a generous amount of creamy coconut filling on the flat side. Top it with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich. Press gently to secure.
10. Serve and Enjoy: Repeat the process until all cookies are filled. Enjoy your taro cookie sandwiches with creamy coconut filling as a special holiday treat or gift them to friends and family!
