It may be cold and snowy here, but I can almost feel hot sand under my feet and hear waves crashing, if I close my eyes tight enough while eating these coconut lime cookies!

The combination of sweet toasted coconut with fresh lime juice and zest, will take your taste buds on a tropical vacation!

I know these cookies seem more like a summer dessert, but the idea of them popped into my head and I just had to make them. Now!

I blame mine and my husbands constant day dreaming about Hawaii. Some day soon we would love to go back, but until then, we will eat cookies, ha!

The texture of these cookies is amazing. They are soft and light yet chewy, and are bursting with plenty of lime flavor with lots of sweet flakey coconut. We tried some with white chocolate chips too for a little something extra!

How to Make Soft and Chewy Coconut Lime Cookies:

  • Make sure to use room temperature, softened butter and cream it well with the sugar. This takes a few minutes in a stand mixer, and should be light and fluffy when it’s done.
  • Use fresh limes! Using both lime juice and zest, along with the lime extract makes the citrus flavor really pop!
  • Do not over bake these cookies. Pull them from the oven when the tops are no longer shiny and the edges are just barely golden. This will give the cookies the soft and chewy texture you want!
  • Add white chocolate chips to your dough before baking to add a little something extra
