I tried a new recipe last weekend ~
chewy coconut lime sugar cookies. Oh my goodness, they were delicious!
I had made the cookie dough and left it to chill while Carrie and I went shopping, and when we returned to my house she stayed long enough for the first batch to come out of the oven.
She said what I'd been thinking - that maybe the tops of the cookies needed a little bit of green sprinkles to emphasize the lime part. But rather than do that, I came up with my own bit of green with a mandala drawn on the tag of the bag I gifted to a friend.
Here's a
link to the original cookie recipe. It's delicious made just the way it's written, though I think next time I'll omit the coconut extract and add a little more lime juice instead. These cookies were even better on day two - the coconut keeps them moist and chewy.
I baked some of the dough and saved two dozen cookie dough balls for the freezer. They'll make a yummy surprise treat for Doug in the near future.

Thank you thank you thank you, for the recipe. I like lime quite a lot & coconut - what a perfect combo. I like your gift tag, so unique so you. Plus your cookies are so perfectly round. Now to go get all the ingredients & bake a batch myself.
I reckon they'd make a great St Patrick's Day treat (especially with a special mandala)
