Ingredients

The following ingredients have 15 Servings
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon lime juice (juice from about 1 lime)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons grated lime zest (from about 3 limes)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sweetened (flaked coconut, lightly toasted)
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for rolling)

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat sugar until creamy. Gradually mix in 1/2 cup powdered sugar, lime juice, and vanilla; beat well. Slowly blend in flour, lime zest, and salt; mix until just combined. Stir in toasted coconut. Cover and chill dough for 30 minutes.
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out dough and roll into generous 1-inch balls. Place balls 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 14 to 18 minutes or until cookies are pale on top but golden brown on the bottom.
  • Transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool for 5 minutes. Pour 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar into a bowl and roll warm cookies in the powdered sugar to coat. Cool cookies completely on a rack and then roll in powdered sugar again. Store in an airtight container.
