Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Zest of 2 limes

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2-3 limes)

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then mix in the vanilla extract, lime zest, and lime juice.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

          Add Coconut and White Chocolate: Fold in the shredded coconut and white chocolate chips gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

            Chill the Dough (Optional): For a chewier texture, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

              Scoop the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. The cookies may still look a bit soft in the middle; they will firm up as they cool.

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

                    Serve and Enjoy: These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for about a week. Dive into the tropical flavors and savor the combination of zesty lime, sweet coconut, and creamy white chocolate!
