Recipe: My Lime-Coconut Sugar Cookies Are Out-of-This World Delicious!

You're just in time.  Here's a plate of my Lime-Coconut Sugar Cookies!

If you think that one sugar cookie is just as good as the next, then you need to taste my recipe that I have for you today. My Lime-Coconut Sugar Cookies are tender, buttery with a fine texture that practically melts in your mouth accented with a subtle sprinkling of sugar mix that includes grated lime zest and coconut flakes.

As with all my recipes, this is another simple one that will not drive you crazy with many complicated steps to prepare.  Basically, this just involves combining ingredients once you grate the zest from one lime before shaping the dough into small balls.

You’ll be surprised at how easy this dough will be to work with.  It won’t be messy and leave your fingers a sticky mess or feel overly greasy like many other similar cookie dough recipes.   

Once you shape your cookie dough balls and place on your greased cookie sheet, you need to flatten them. You can use a bottom of a glass or cup, but what I like to do is to take out a manual potato masher to press each one down because it leaves a beautiful design on top with  nooks and crannies to better to hold my topping.

 I like to improvise when in a hurry.  This manual potato masher is also great tor potatoes.

Another wonderful thing about this dough is how versatile it is.  If you don’t care for lime or coconut, you can always experiment with another combination.  Orange and lemon also are yummy, but there are countless possibilities.  

I really hope that you print this recipe out before it is a definite keeper!
