Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 medium lime

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Optional: additional lime zest for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this mixture aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

        Add Egg and Flavors: Beat in the egg, then add the vanilla extract, lime zest, and fresh lime juice. Mix until fully combined.

          Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Fold in Coconut and Chocolate: Gently fold in the shredded coconut and white chocolate chips until they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Scoop the Dough: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a couple of inches between each cookie for spreading during baking.

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

                  Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, sprinkle additional lime zest over the cookies while they are still warm.
