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.
