Chewy Lime and Coconut Sugar Cookie Recipe
Happy Cinco de Mayo! What are your party plans? We hope you are celebrating with good food and fun. If you need a few last minute menu ideas, check out our favorite Cinco de Mayo recipes.
Yes, I am posting another lime recipe. My Baking Addiction made me do it. When I saw her post that started out with, “Are you a lime lover?” I knew I was in trouble. Especially because it was a cookie recipe. I tried to ignore the post, but it kept popping up in my mind at the most random times. These cookies were begging to be baked.
Over the weekend, I made a batch and I don’t know if I should love these cookies or hate them. They are DIVINE! So divine that I didn’t want to share. I took one bite and immediately knew I was in big trouble. Josh was outside doing yard work, so the question was-do I hurry and hide the cookies or share my divine discovery?
Josh ended up coming in the house to grab a drink and smelled the cookies. He quickly grabbed a freshly baked cookie from the cooling rack. Of course he loved them. They are soft, chewy, with a hint of toasted coconut, and the perfect kick of lime. What is not to love? Especially for lime lovers, like us.
I could go on and on about how fabulous these cookies are, but instead, go make a batch. You will see! Make them today to end your Cinco de Mayo party with a sweet bang!
And if you are wondering if I would of shared the cookies with Josh if he didn’t come inside-of course I would of:)

WOW these are fantastic! Just made them 2 nights in a row! They are best cooled since they get this nice little crunch on the outside & are still soft & chewy inside! Thanks!
Hey Maria,
I have been reading your blog for a while. I saw these cookies and I have been meaning to make them for a long time! I finally did it – they are good but I didn’t find the lime taste to be that strong. {I used the zest of 4 limes too] Any tips to fix that? Other than that they were good.

You can always add more lime zest or lime juice.
Love these cookies! Made them 3 times already! They are perfectly chewy and have an amazing flavor! Yum!

I’ve never considered myself any good at cooking or baking. Usually when I try to make something I end up being disappointed because something went wrong…even when I follow recipes exactly. BUT…I got some motivation to try some new things when I stumbled across your blog. This coconut lime cookie was the first recipe of yours I decided to try. And oh my word….delicious! They were perfect and a huge hit with all my co-workers. They probably think I bake all the time now haha. Thank you for inspiring me, these were absolutely amazing. I’m so anxious to try more of your recipes….gotta run. Headed for some groceries.
