I'm working at being more adventurous, both in my personal life and in my palate. Oftentimes I don't succeed, but every once in a while I do. This recipe was a success! Of course, I found this one on Pinterest: Lime and Coconut Cookies with White Chocolate Chips, and with all the cold weather we've had this winter, I thought it would be a nice recipe to liven up my family and coworkers with some summer flavors. It worked. The cookies have a very mild lime flavor, and the coconut doesn't detract from the texture of the cookie. The white chocolate chips just melt in your mouth and blend it all together in a wonderful little cookie.
2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
zest of one large lime
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice (I used two smaller limes)
1/2 cup toasted coconut
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup sugar for rolling cookies
2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
zest of one large lime
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice (I used two smaller limes)
1/2 cup toasted coconut
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup sugar for rolling cookies
In small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth, about 3 minutes.
Add in the egg, vanilla extract, lime juice and lime zest, and beat until well combined.
Add in the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Lastly, fold in the toasted coconut and white chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed. Roll rounded spoonfuls of cookie dough into balls and roll in sugar.
Bake cookies 8-10 minutes, or until lightly browned. The cookies will look slightly cracked. Let the cookies rest on cookie sheet for three minutes, then move them onto a cooling rack.
