I love citrus flavors in the summer! We thought we better have one last summery snack before fall arrives. They were so full of flavor. We loved them!
Chewy Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies
(Recipe from The Girl Who Ate Everything)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
zest of one large lime, finely minced
3 tbsp lime juice
½ cup unsweetened toasted coconut
½ cup sugar for rolling cookies
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. If you haven't already toasted your coconut just put a layer of coconut on a cookie sheet and bake it at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Watch out. It goes from white to burnt really quick if you aren't watching closely.
2. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. Using a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth and very fluffy.
4. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, lime juice and lime zest.
5. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients and toasted coconut.
6. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll in sugar. Place on lined cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. I made mine too big and they ran together. These do spread quite a bit.
7. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned.
8. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
Oh wow, this sounds so interesting--but pretty amazing as well! I would love to try them out! Thanks for sharing this!

ReplyDeleteOh My GOODNESS...I found you via pinterest. I made these today and they are AH-MAZING!!! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteHow many does this recipe make?
ReplyDeleteHi Sommer!
DeleteThis makes around 24-30 cookies depending on the size you make them.
Can't figure out what I did wrong. They didn't spread, just stayed in one spot. I followed the recipe, just adding in a half a cup more coconut. It seemed like there was too much flour perhaps. Hmmm. At least they taste yummy. After baking some batches, I added in mini chocolate chips to the remainder of the dough. Chocolate makes everything better ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Kayla!
DeleteI don't know exactly why they didn't work out. I am so sorry about that! I would try to add a little less flour next time and see if that works.
I also made half the flour wheat. Could that be why?
ReplyDeleteMade these today! AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteJust pinned these! They look so amazing!
