Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon key lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated lime zest
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened or sweetened) Your choice

For Rolling

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the key lime juice and lime zest, followed by the shredded coconut.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Baking

  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll into balls. Coat each ball generously in powdered sugar.
  • Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a chewier cookie, remove them from the oven when just set. Add a pinch of salt to the powdered sugar for enhanced flavor. Ensure your oven is correctly calibrated for even baking.
