These sweet, chewy, lime cookies are my 8th dessert suggestion for this Christmas. I had a large number of limes in my fridge and since I didn’t want them to go bad or dry out, I went searching for various dessert recipes that incorporate limes. I came across a sugar cookie recipe which was made using lime and coconut as the main ingredients; so i decided to try the recipe for myself.
I consider these Lime Sugar Cookies a Nigerian friendly dessert because lime and coconut are common Nigerian fruits. The tartness of the lime tones down a bit of the sugar and the coconut flakes give the cookies another dimension of texture. I’m falling in love with the idea of using lime in my cooking more often, the flavour and extra character it gives to dishes like this Coconut Lime Chicken Soup are fresh and crisp.
You can cut down on the sugar If you think it might be too sweet for you. I would also like to try this recipe with other citrus fruits like oranges and lemons in the near future.
I hope you enjoy making these simple and amaZING cookies.
