Ingredients

• 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
• zest of one large lime, finely minced
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• ½ cup unsweetened toasted coconut
• ½ cup sugar for rolling cookies

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. If you havent already toasted your coconut just put a layer of coconut on a cookie sheet and bake it at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Watch out. It goes from white to burnt really quick if you arent watching closely.
• In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• Using a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth and very fluffy.
• Beat in egg, vanilla extract (and coconut extract if using), lime juice and lime zest.
• Gradually blend in the dry ingredients and toasted coconut.
• Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll in sugar. Place on lined cookie sheets about 1½ inches apart. I made mine too big and they ran together. These do spread quite a bit. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned.
• Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks
