Coconut Lime Butter Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• COOKIES: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar until combined. Add the egg yolks and mix until combined. Add the lemon and lime zest. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Next, add the citrus juice and coconut extract, and mix the dough until it comes together. Scoop out tablespoons of dough, roll into balls between your hands and place on a baking sheet. Bake until not quite starting to turn brown, 12 to 13 minutes. Remove from the oven but keep the cookies on the baking sheet for 3 to 4 minutes. Use a spatula to move them to a cooling rack to cool completely. ICING: Add the powdered sugar, cream of coconut, lemon, and lime zest, milk, coconut extract, salt, egg white, and lemon and lime juice to a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly until combined, adding either more powdered sugar or more juice until it reaches a pourable but still thick consistency. Drizzle the icing across the cookies in several lines, and then repeat in the other direction. Sprinkle the cookies with extra zest before the icing sets.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper.
• In medium bowl, stir together Cookie ingredients until soft dough forms.
• Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
• While cookies are cooling, in small bowl, beat Glaze ingredients with whisk until smooth.
• Brush light coating of glaze over each cookie. Let stand until glaze is dry and hard.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat butter and confectioners' sugar until blended. Beat in citrus zest and lemon juice. Gradually beat in flour., Shape into a disk; wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm enough to roll., Preheat oven to 325°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets., Bake 16-19 minutes or until edges are light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, coconut, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• Combine 1 1/2 cups of sugar, the lime zest, and cream cheese in a large bowl. Put the remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a pie plate and set aside. Pour the warm butter over the cream cheese mixture and whisk to combine - the mixture won't be completely smooth yet. Whisk in the oil then the egg, milk and lime juice. Mix until smooth. Use a rubber spatula to fold the dry ingredients into the wet, until a soft dough comes together.
• Portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets with a cookie scoop, using about 2 tablespoons for each cookie. Working quickly (if you handle the dough too much you're more likely to wind up with flat cookies), roll the dough into a ball with your hands then roll in the sugar set aside in the pie plate previously. Repeat until you've used all of the dough, placing 12 cookies on each baking sheet. Use the bottom of a glass to flatten the dough balls into discs that are about 2 inches in diameter. Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the remaining sugar in the pie plate, using about 2 teaspoons per sheet of cookies.
• Bake the cookies, 1 tray at a time, for about 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are set and beginning to brown. The tops will be puffy and slightly cracked. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes then transfer them to the rack to cool completely.
