When you make these cookies, your kitchen will smell like a lime orchard, they are so good and chewy, I found this recipe over at My Happy Place , I tweaked the recipe a bit to make it a little more healthy.  They came out better than I expected.

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

zest of one large lime

3 tbsp fresh lime juice

1/2 cup unsweetened toasted coconut

 Set oven to 350ºF. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

 

In a small bowl, sift dry ingredients.

Beat butter and light brown sugar until fluffy.

Beat in egg, vanilla, and lime juice and zest.
