PRESENTATION

Coconut lime cookies are such a fun twist on those big, chewy American cookies we all know and love. Really, they mix that classic chocolate chip feel with a zesty, citrusy hit from fresh lime and the sweet chewiness of coconut flakes. What you end up with is something really different—soft, kinda moist, and just packed with flavor. For folks who love both coconut and chocolate, this coconut lime cookie recipe hits all the right notes. Seriously good. The lime gives every bite a little tangy punch. Keeps things feeling fresh and bright—perfect when you need to shake up your cookie game.

And look, these cookies fit right in with other creative flavors, like blueberry and pistachio, or even double chocolate chip. You’ll notice the butter-rich dough is similar to other homemade cookies, but honestly, the tropical mix of coconut and lime is what really sets these apart. Many people get hooked after the first batch of easy coconut lime cookies—they're that simple to throw together. Pretty simple. And you know what? They taste like a good time. Whether for a picnic, sharing with friends at a backyard barbecue, or just sneaking a couple with your afternoon coffee, these cookies bring a bit of summer anytime. And the sauce? It's all about that burst of sunshine flavor.

Some folks even like to switch things up a bit, maybe swap out the chocolate chips for white chocolate, or toss in some nuts for extra crunch. It’s a style of baking that lets you really really play around and find your favorite combo. Compared to things like coconut lime shortbread cookies or bars, this version is all about that chewy texture with bursts of citrus and tender coconut in every bite. Once you try these, it’s hard not to start dreaming up even more tropical cookies to make. Pretty much. For anyone into new coconut dessert recipes, these cookies are a win—no question—and pretty much guarantee you'll never get bored of classic cookies again.

Preparation

How to prepare Coconut and Lime Cookies

To prepare the coconut and lime cookies, pour the all-purpose flour, shredded coconut 1, diced butter 2, and brown sugar 3 into a bowl.

Add the salt 4 and start mixing the dough with your hands 5 for a few seconds to get a sandy mixture. Add flavor with the grated lime zest 6.

Incorporate the egg 7 and knead again with your hands until you get a homogeneous mixture 8. Add the dark chocolate chips 9.

Work for a few more seconds to distribute them evenly 10. Take 25-27 grams (about 1 oz) of dough and form balls 11, roll them in the shredded coconut, and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper 12.

Press lightly with your fingers to flatten the cookies 13, aiming for a thickness of about 0.4 inches 14. Bake in a preheated convection oven at 340°F for 5 minutes, then continue for another 10 minutes at 340°F in a static oven, on the middle rack. Once baked, remove the coconut and lime cookies and let them cool slightly before enjoying them 15!

Storage

You can store the coconut and lime cookies in a tin box for up to 3-4 days. You can freeze the raw dough.

Tip

You can replace the dark chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips if you prefer a sweeter taste; conversely, if you love the savory notes typical of traditional cookies, just add a pinch more salt!
