Description
Glazed Coconut Lime Cookies – a zesty, tropical cookie recipe with chewy coconut and tangy lime glaze for the perfect sweet treat.
Ingredients
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
- 2–3 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.
