How to make this Easy Coconut Key Lime Cookies Recipe!

You NEED to make these Key Lime Cookies with Coconut! Super easy ingredients with AMAZING flavors! I loved make these for my friends and family and I know you will too!

First, get started by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheating your oven to 350 degrees.

Then add butter and sugar to a medium bowl and cream them together.

Now, mix in the vanilla and egg until fully combined.

Next, mix in the key lime juice and lime zest. This really gives the cookies their amazing flavor so DO NOT SKIP!

Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda). The fold in the coconut flakes to combine the cookie dough all together. (Save some coconut flakes for garnishing at the end too if you want.)

Now use a cookie scoop (I used a 2 tablespoon scoop) to create the cookie dough balls and place them on the baking sheet. 

Finally, once the cookies are baked, let them cool on the baking sheet for about 8 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack to finish cooling. You can also sprinkle on more lime zest and coconut flakes on top! Super fun and delicious!

Should you refrigerate Coconut Key Lime Cookie dough?

You do not have to refrigerate the cookie dough, but you totally could if you wanted to! Once the ingredients are mixed, these Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies are ready to bake!

Refrigerating cookie dough helps the cookies not to spread. So if you find you’re having trouble with your cookies spreading while baking, then you could try chilling them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before baking.

Can you use bottled lime juice instead of fresh key lime juice?

Yes, you can use bottled lime juice if you have that on hand. It won’t really effect the flavor of the cookies. But, since you need a fresh lime to add lime zest to the cookies (please DO NOT skip this flavor boosting step!), it’s easy to just add the fresh juice to the cookies. 

What does Coconut Key Lime Cookies taste like?

Coconut Key Lime Cookies have mixed flavor of citrus and tropical. The lime brings a bright flavor while the coconut adds a more nuttier flavor and texture. Adding them together makes for delicious Key Lime Sugar Cookies!
