Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup coconut flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 lime

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1/2 teaspoon key lime extract (optional, for extra lime flavor)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.

      Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

        Add Egg and Flavors: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lime zest, lime juice, and key lime extract (if using) until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.

          Mix Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the cookies remain soft.

            Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Form Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.

                  Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Serve: Enjoy your Key Lime Coconut White Chocolate Chip Cookies fresh with a refreshing glass of iced tea or your favorite beverage!
