Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies

Here is another lime recipe. Trying to use up my large bag of limes, ya know. I found this recipe on one of my favorite blogs: mybakingaddiction.com. Her cookies were beautiful so I decided to try them myself today. I followed her recipe exactly but my cookies, surprisingly, turned out crunchy, not chewy which is great because I prefer crunchy...I just wasn't expecting that texture. I think they could have used more lime flavor - I guess maybe more zest? But other than that these were wonderful. I have never made a cookie with this flavor combination. I don't often bake with coconut because nobody in my family will eat it. Isn't that insane? Not one person would eat these. I don't get it. But I'm sure my coworkers will thoroughly enjoy these. Thank you Jamie for the recipe.
