Delicious Coconut Lime Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
14
  • 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest (freshly grated)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lime zest, and lime juice.

    Make sure the butter is at room temperature for better mixing.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, shredded coconut, and baking powder.

    Sifting the flour can help remove lumps.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Scoop Cookies

    Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

    Leave space between each cookie as they will spread.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
  8. Cool

    Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Cooling on a rack helps maintain the cookie texture.
