Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and lime zest until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the shredded coconut, chopped dried pineapple, and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Tropical Breeze Cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
