11 Lime Coconut Christmas Cookies Tropical Ideas

Classic Lime Coconut Sugar Cookies

Classic Lime Coconut Sugar Cookies are a delightful twist on traditional sugar cookies. Bursting with zesty lime flavor and a hint of coconut, these cookies are perfect for holiday gatherings or anytime you want a reviving treat. Their soft, chewy texture combined with a sweet lime glaze makes them simply irresistible!

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This guarantees that your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Lime Ingredients: Add the lime zest, lime juice, egg, and coconut extract to the butter mixture. Beat until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
6. Fold in Coconut: Gently fold in the sweetened shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Shape the Cookies: Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space them about 2 inches apart as they will spread while baking.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will appear soft—it’s important not to overbake them.
9. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Make Lime Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons of milk until you reach your desired consistency. Stir in a bit of additional lime juice if you want a stronger lime flavor.
11. Glaze the Cookies: Drizzle the lime glaze over the cooled cookies. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.

Enjoy your Classic Lime Coconut Sugar Cookies as a festive treat or a delightful snack any day of the year!
