2 2/3 C Flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 C butter, softened
1 1/2 C white sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
zest of one large lime, finely minced
3 tbsp lime juice
1/2 c unsweetened toasted coconut
1/2 c sugar for rolling cookies
1. Toast coconut by spreading on a cookie sheet and baking at 350 for 5-7 min. Watch carefully, it goes from white to burnt very quickly.
2. In small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside
3. Beat together the butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
4. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, lime juice and lime zest.
5. Blend in the dry ingredients and toasted coconut.
6. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll in sugar. Place on lined cookie sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. (they spread quite a bit)
7. Bake 8-10 min at 350 or until lightly browned.
8. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
*Note that it calls for UNsweetened coconut. It was hard for me to find. But I finally found it at Smith's Marketplace, they may have it at the regular smiths too.
