Delicious Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
16
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice, fresh
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1 cup shredded coconut, unsweetened
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat Oven

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

    Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use an electric mixer for best results.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients

    Beat in the egg, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help prevent clumps.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Fold in the shredded coconut.

    Do not overmix to keep cookies tender.
  6. Shape Cookies

    Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Leave space between cookies 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 prevent overbaking.
  8. Cool and Dust

    Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

    Dusting can add a nice touch of sweetness.
