5-Ingredient Coconut Lime Cookies

coconut lime sugar cookies


You put de lime in de coconut and drink 'em bot' up. Sorry. Had to do it. I've got a treat for you today. These coconut lime cookies I devised are chewy but soft sugar cookies with a twist, and are perfect for your Cinco de Mayo celebration. Plus, I cheated and used a sugar cookie mix, so they come together super-quick, which is what you want since May 5 falls on a weeknight this year, right? No muss, no fuss. You could keep things super-simple by just hosting a happy hour with some guacamole, a pitcher of margaritas and these cookies. Ole!

5-Ingredient Coconut Lime Cookies
1 package sugar cookie mix (I used the store brand)
1 egg
1 stick melted butter
zest and juice of 2 limes
1 1/4 c. sweetened coconut

Mix all of the ingredients together and drop by rounded tablespoon-full onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 for 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Optional: If you want your cookies glazed, mix 1/4 c. powdered sugar with 1-2 T. lime juice, adding the juice gradually until the glaze is the consistency you want. You could add a little zest to this too. Drizzle on the cookies when they've cooled, and let it harden.

Enjoy!

You may have a holiday party or two to attend in the next couple of weeks...or maybe you already went and showed up empty-handed. Here are some handpicked hostess gifts that go beyond the ubiquitous bottle of wine. Show up with one of these, or send one along post-party with a thank you note, and you're sure to be invited next year! Keep in mind that many of these shops have "Gifts Under $25" collections, so if you don't find what you want here, browse a bit more. And finally, do yourself a favor and stock up! I made sure to include really reasonably-priced things so you can buy in multiples and not break the bank. Haitian Spirit Recycled Steel Ornaments --The Hunger Site Store (every purchase from this site helps fight hunger) Sassari Napkin Rings --Crate and Barrel Wine Cork Candles --Vat 19 (I know I've handpicked these before...I think they're that cool.) Owl Salt and Pepper Shakers --Pier 1 (they have lots of other cute sets, too) Set of Kitchen Towel

Peaches and Cream Scones

Good morning, sunshines! Sadly, peach season is coming to a rapid close, but before it's gone for another year, you've gotta try these scones! They taste like peach cobbler that you can hold in your hand! If you recall, I rounded up some great peach recipes for you a few weeks back, and this was one I just had to try myself. The recipe comes from A Latte Food . The only thing I changed was the amount of vanilla that went in the glaze. I decreased it from 1 T. to 1 tsp. Hop on over to A Latte Food for the full recipe, then swipe up the last of summer's peaches before they're gone!

Blue and Red Valentine Decorations

Hey there! Happy Monday! Have you undecorated for Christmas yet? I have to do a decoration detox for a bit after the holidays. I keep the decor to a minimum, but around now, I start to think about Valentine's Day decorations. I think it's hard to work with red and pink since our house is mostly blue, gray and green. But these blue and red Valentine craft ideas would look great in our house, and maybe yours, too! via via via via via via via via via You May Also Like: Key to Our Hearts Valentine Art DIY Heart Crayons Grilled Chocolate Marshmallow Sandwiches Vintage Valentine Crafts
