Coconut Lime White Chocolate Chip Cookies

White chocolate chip cookies with lime and coconut!

Chocolate chip cookies are always a favourite and I am particularly fond of white chocolate chip cookies. I like basic white chocolate chip cookies and it’s fun to add flavours like macadamia nuts and for these cookies it’s coconut and lime! White chocolate, coconut and lime is an amazing flavour combination that works really well in cookie form! This is a pretty basic chocolate chip cookie recipe with white chocolate chips, shredded coconut and lime zest for the flavours. It takes very little time to make these cookies so you can enjoy them freshly baked whenever you want!

White chocolate chip cookies with lime and coconut!

ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon lime zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 1/8 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

directions

Cream the butter and sugar before beating in the egg followed by the lime zest and vanilla extract.
Mix the flour, baking soda and salt.
Mix the flour mixture into the wet mixture before gently folding the chocolate chips and coconut.
Scoop the dough, 1-2 tablespoons, at a time, form into balls and place them on baking sheets lined with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat, 2 inches apart from each other.
Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until they just start to turn lightly golden brown along the edges, 8-10 minutes.
Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool the rest of the way.

Option: If you can find lime extract, add 1 teaspoon lime extract!
Option: Add chopped macadamia nuts.
Note: Cook time assumes 2 batches of about 10 minute bakes.

This recipe does not work. Twice I’ve had thin spread out cookies with a raw center, even with trying different sizes and bake times. Good taste, but not something you can serve.

  I am sorry to hear that they did not work out for you. Some tips for spreading/thin cookies: 1. Do not over mix. 2. Chill the dough before baking. 3. Add 2 extra tablespoons of flour.

I’ve made these twice with the same results; thin and slightly oily. I did add two tablespoons of flour this time. They are delicious, but very crisp when cool. I will try again and chill the dough, but not sure that will solve the problem. As this is absolutely a delicious cookie, I’m not giving up!

Very tasty cookies! Made them once before and planning on making them again soon. Would like to incorporate macadamia nuts this time. Should the macadamia nuts be raw or roasted? And how much should we use? Thanks for sharing your recipes!

  I’m glad you like them! I use 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped roasted macadamia nuts when I add them!
