Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lime

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut

3/4 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

        Add Egg and Flavorings: Beat in the egg until well combined. Then, stir in the vanilla extract, lime zest, and fresh lime juice, mixing until fully incorporated.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Coconut and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the shredded coconut and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to firm up as they cool.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Enjoy: Serve these delicious Key Lime Coconut White Chocolate Chip Cookies warm or at room temperature! They make a perfect treat for any occasion.
