    Coconut Lime Crisps - Deliciously Tropical

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Our Coconut Lime Crisps are thin, crispy cookies with a wonderful tart lime flavor & sweet coconut. Their tropical flavor is the perfect addition to any holiday cookie tray.

    There is always room during the Christmas season for a lighter, crisper cookie. These are a favorite, living in Florida, because we are lucky enough to have out own Key Lime tree in our backyard. It produces tons of fruit a year so when we get tired of Authentic Key Lime Pie (is that even possible?) I make these Coconut Lime Crisps.

    They’ll remind you, even in the middle of winter, of tropical islands and getaways. And that’s never a bad thing! These cookies bake up super crisp (check out how crisp they are!) and quite large (don’t be surprised by how much they spread) and they have a wonderfully tart lime taste that is offset by the addition of sweetened coconut.

    A great cookie for any time of year but around Christmas it gives you a lighter option to all the butter, chocolate & peppermint cookies.

    Enjoy!

    Ingredients

    • ¾ cup + 2 Tablespoons butter, softened
    • ⅔ cup sugar
    • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
    • 2 Tablespoons lime juice
    • 4 teaspoons lime zest
    • 1-¼ cups flour
    • ¾ cups shredded sweetened coconut

    Instructions

    • Cream the butter and sugar together in a medium bowl. 
    • Add the almond extract, lime juice and zest. 
    • Continue beating while adding flour and coconut.
    • Using your hands, roll dough out on a floured piece of wax paper into an 18"-20" log. 
    • Wrap tightly with paper and place in refrigerator to chill for at least one hour.
    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
    • Remove dough from refrigerator and roll in colored sugar. (I’ve used red & green and they’re both pretty for the season). 
    • Cut into ¼" thick slices and place on cookie sheets 2" apart.
    • Bake 15 minutes or until golden. 
    • Cool cookies on cookie sheets for 5 minutes then gently remove to wire racks. 
    • Cool completely and store in airtight cookie tin.
