Amazing Chewy Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies!!

I like to go on Pintrest and look for  new and unique recipes.  I've been craving a cookie that didn't have chocolate in it, and I came across this recipe for Chewy Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies.  I'm not much of a coconut fan, but I don't hate it, so I thought that I would give it a try.  I just finished pulling the last batch of these cookies out of the oven, and they're simply amazing.  This is the best Summer cookie.  It reminds me of the beach with the hint of lime in it.  The cookies even come out just like the picture.  While they are definitely not "good" for you, they sure do taste yummy.  Here's the recipe and the website that I got it from: (The only thing that I changed in the recipe was to add 1/2 tsp cream of tartar to help the cookies not go too flat.)

Chewy Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies

Source: My Baking Addiction  The website I actually got the recipe from is here.

Ingredients:

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder (Here's where I added the 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar.)
½ teaspoon salt (I didn't put any salt in mine because I used salted butter.)
1 cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
zest of one large lime, finely minced
3 tbsp lime juice (I used the bottled lime juice from the grocery store.)
½ cup unsweetened toasted coconut (I used sweetened coconut and it was just fine.)
½ cup sugar for rolling cookies

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. If you haven't already toasted your coconut just put a layer of coconut on a cookie sheet and bake it at 350 degrees for 5-7 minutes. Watch out. It goes from white to burnt really quick if you aren't watching closely (This is very true, I almost set off the fire alarm in the dorms after having the coconut in for only 3.5 minutes.).
2. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. Using a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth and very fluffy.
4. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, lime juice and lime zest.
5. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients and toasted coconut.
6. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll in sugar. Place on lined cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. I made mine too big and they ran together. These do spread quite a bit.
7. Bake 8 to 10 minutes (depending on your oven) in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned.
8. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.

Yields 3 dozen 2 - 3" cookies. 

I hope you all enjoy these cookies as much as I have.  Happy baking.
