KEY LIME COOKIES

This weekend, I played around with one of my Mom’s recipes and ended up with these key lime cookies from scratch.

My Mom’s key lime cookies with sweetened condensed milk tasted more like macaroons rather than cookies…lol.

The taste was great but I just had to make the texture more cookie-like and finally, SUCCESS!

These key lime cookies with coconut have all the flavors of a CLASSIC chewy sugar cookie but with a zesty twist.

The lime flavor comes from 3 sources:

Key lime zest
Key lime extract
Key lime juice
These ZESTY key lime sugar cookies have an amazing CRACKLY and crinkly texture, making them IRRESISTIBLE!

How to make key lime cookies?
The process is very SIMPLE. Start off by creaming together butter and sugar. Then, mix in the egg, vanilla extract, lime extract, lime juice, lime zest and gel coloring. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut, baking powder and baking soda. Dump this dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix until just combined. Roll out small balls of cookie dough and cover them in granulated sugar and place them on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper. Chill the tray for a bit and then, bake!
