White chocolate chip cookies with lime and coconut!

ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon lime zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 1/8 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

directions

Cream the butter and sugar before beating in the egg followed by the lime zest and vanilla extract.
Mix the flour, baking soda and salt.
Mix the flour mixture into the wet mixture before gently folding the chocolate chips and coconut.
Scoop the dough, 1-2 tablespoons, at a time, form into balls and place them on baking sheets lined with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat, 2 inches apart from each other.
Bake in a preheated 350F/180C oven until they just start to turn lightly golden brown along the edges, 8-10 minutes.
Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool the rest of the way.

Option: If you can find lime extract, add 1 teaspoon lime extract!
Option: Add chopped macadamia nuts.
Note: Cook time assumes 2 batches of about 10 minute bakes.
