I filled a container with mini homemade
Chewy Lime and coconut sugar cookies for Mr. Right.
I made a lime green tag that says a bunch of mushy
stuff. Tonight, while
he is packing, I will tuck them into his suitcase.
The cookies turned out super duper GREAT. Thought I would
share. You can substitute the natural sugar and butter etc
how you would like.
2 3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of one large lime
3 Tablespoons lime juice
1/2 cup toasted coconut
1/2 cup sugar for rolling
Preheat oven to 350*. Line cookie sheets with silpat. In a small bowl sift or whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. Using a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth and very fluffy. This will take a couple of minutes. Beat in the egg, vanilla, lime juice and lime zest. Mix until well combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients and toasted coconut. Mix just until combined. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of cookie dough into balls. Put sugar in a small bowl and roll cookie dough balls in sugar. Place on lined sheets.
Bake 8 minutes. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes then move to cooling rack.
Oh yum.
