Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice (for cookies)
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the softened butter, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice to the bowl. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until a cohesive dough forms.
Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the snowballs are lightly golden on the bottom. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
While the cookies cool, prepare the lime glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, and lime zest in a small bowl until smooth.
Once the cookies are cool, dip each one into the glaze, allowing the excess to drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper. Optionally, sprinkle more shredded coconut on top for decoration.
Let the lime glaze set for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
