Coconut Lime Cookies

I wanted to make something with lime for a long time, but I usually had such bad luck that I found limes in a really bad condition. I finally found some good limes with good price so I took them right away. I was carried away and I eventually took a lot more than I needed and now the leftover pieces are stuck in my fridge. Never mind, I´m sure I will find a way to use them. After all these creamy cakes, I wanted to make something a little bit drier. The best match to lime is coconut, I guess it is a basic combination, so I made Coconut Lime Cookies. Their preparation is very simple, I guess like with every cookie recipe, but you can be sure that you will get soft and crispy cookies. They combine softness and crispiness, since they are a bit harder and crispy around the edges and soft in the center.

Since cookies tend to expand on a baking pan, make sure there is enough space between them. I put dough in a round cookie cutter which I later took away so cookies would have approximately same shape. Of course, if you don´t feel like it, you can simple press down cookies with a fork, but they won´t get such a nice shape. Subtle lime flavor and balanced coconut ratio are exactly what you need if you don´t want chocolate, but you still want something small and sweet in your purse.
