Description

Glazed Coconut Lime Cookies – a zesty, tropical cookie recipe with chewy coconut and tangy lime glaze for the perfect sweet treat.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups sweetened shredded coconut

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon lime zest (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).

Step 3: Add Eggs and Lime
Mix in eggs one at a time. Then add lime juice and zest. Beat until fully combined.

Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5: Combine Wet & Dry
Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix just until combined.

Step 6: Fold in Coconut
Stir in the shredded coconut evenly throughout the dough.

Step 7: Scoop & Bake
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Don’t overbake.

Step 8: Cool Cookies
Let cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.

Step 9: Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lime juice until smooth. Add more juice for a thinner glaze if needed.

Step 10: Glaze the Cookies
Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle glaze over tops or dip cookies face-down into glaze. Sprinkle with lime zest if desired.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for 15–30 mins for thicker cookies.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze unglazed cookies for up to 2 months.
