Receta Lime Coconut White Chocolate Cookies
There is something about spring that just makes me want to bake with lemons and limes. They are just so fresh and spring-y, aren't they? I have professed my love of cookie baking before, and it was only a matter of time before I experimented with adding lime to one of my favorite cookie recipes.
These cookies turned out even more yummy than I imagined! They are soft and chewy, and the white chocolate goes just perfect with the tart lime. I added toasted coconut, and I thought it added a great flavor and texture. Make sure you toast it for maximum yumminess. If you can't stand the thought of coconut, you can of course leave it out.
