Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 tablespoon key lime juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)

Zest of 2 key limes

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1 cup white chocolate chips

Extra lime zest for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

      Add Egg and Flavors: Add the egg, key lime juice, key lime zest, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

          Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Additions: Gently fold in the shredded coconut and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft. Make sure not to overbake.

                  Cool: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve these delightful cookies as a refreshing treat, and garnish with extra lime zest if desired for an added citrus brightness!
