Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp lime zest
  • 3/4 tsp coconut flavoring
  • 2 & 1/3 cups flour (228g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Lime Buttercream

  • 6 tbsp butter, softened (57g)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp lime juice, cold
  • 1 tsp lime zest
  • Lime wedges for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for later.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, oil, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, ensuring the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add wet flavorings: Incorporate the egg, lime juice, lime zest, and coconut flavoring into the creamed sugar and butter mixture. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly combined.
  4. Combine dry ingredients and form dough: Add the flour, salt, and baking powder to the wet mixture. Mix until fully combined and a dough forms. Then, using a large cookie scoop, portion out 9 equal cookie dough balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Flatten cookies: Spray the bottom of a glass or measuring cup with cooking spray, dip it into a plate of granulated sugar, and gently press each cookie ball down to about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thickness. Take care not to smash the cookies too thin to maintain softness.
  6. Bake cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Once done, remove them and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Make lime buttercream: In a clean mixing bowl or stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, powdered sugar, cold lime juice, and lime zest until the frosting becomes light, fluffy, and well blended.
  8. Frost and decorate: Once the cookies are fully cooled, generously spread the lime buttercream on top of each cookie. Garnish each with a lime wedge for a fresh decorative touch.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Serve these tropical coconut lime cookies chilled for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • If the buttercream is too thin, refrigerate it for 10 minutes and then re-whip to get a fluffy texture. This is often caused by overly soft butter or a warm kitchen.
  • Store frosted cookies in the refrigerator for up to 7 days to maintain freshness.
  • You can freeze unfrosted cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before frosting and serving.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to help the cookies spread correctly and achieve the perfect texture.
  • When flattening cookies, avoid pressing them too thin to keep the center soft and melt-in-your-mouth.
  • Ensure cookies are fully cooled before frosting to prevent the buttercream from melting and creating a messy appearance.
