Updated April 28, 2011 I recently created a special cookie for my Joshua. He loves my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, so I used the oatmeal dough as the base. He is also in love with everything lime, so I added in lime zest and a couple drops of fresh lime juice. I wasn’t sure how the juice would take to the cookies, so I just added a little. I had a good thing going, so I continued on. ½ c. brown sugar ½ c. white sugar ½ cup softened unsalted butter 1 egg 1 tsp. Vanilla Zest of 1-2 limes (I used 2) A couple drops of fresh lime juice ¼ tsp. Salt ½ tsp. Baking powder ½ tsp. Baking soda 1 ¼ c. flour 1 ¼ c. oats About ¾ cup coconut About 1 cup white chocolate chunks (or chips) Cream the butter with the sugars until soft and creamy, using a mixer. Add in egg and vanilla. Add in lime zest and juice. Mix briefly. In a separate bowl combine the salt, baking powder, soda, flour. Add to wet ingredients. Mix until blended. Add your oats and then your coconut and chocolate. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes! Don’t let them get too done…they are better when they are soft!
