Print Recipe

These cookies combine bright lime zest, chewy shredded coconut, and melty white chocolate chunks for a tropical, sweet treat that’s crisp on the edges and soft in the center.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime zest
  • 1 cup (85 g) shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Stir in the fresh lime zest.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently with a spatula to avoid overmixing.
  7. Fold in the shredded coconut and white chocolate chunks until evenly distributed.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers still look soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh lime zest for best flavor; avoid the white pith to prevent bitterness. Chill dough for 20 minutes if kitchen is warm to prevent spreading. White chocolate chunks melt better than chips. For a crisper cookie, bake an extra 1-2 minutes but watch closely.
