Chewy Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies
- 2-3/4 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Butter, Softened
- 1-1/2 cup White Sugar, Plus 1/2 Cup For Rolling Cookies
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 teaspoons Vanillla Extract
- 3 Tablespoons Lime Juice
- 1 Large Lime Zest, Finely Minced
- 1/2 cups Toasted Coconut
- 1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F. 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 350u0b0F 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 1 1/2 cups 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 remaining 1/2 cup 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 2 minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
