Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

¾ cup granulated sugar

¾ cup packed light brown sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Zest of 2 medium key limes

¼ cup fresh key lime juice (about 3-4 limes)

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup shredded sweetened coconut

1 cup white chocolate chips

Optional: extra shredded coconut for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

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

      Add the Eggs and Flavor: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract, lime zest, and key lime juice, mixing until well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

          Mix Everything Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be cautious not to overmix.

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

              Scoop the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. If desired, sprinkle a little extra shredded coconut on top of each cookie.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers might look a little soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

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

                    Enjoy: Once cooled, indulge in these delectable Key Lime Coconut White Chocolate Chip Cookies for a burst of tropical flavor in every bite!
