Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line two sheet pans with Silpat mats. Set aside.

2. Into the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the vanilla sugar, brown sugar, lime zest, coconut oil and cold egg. Cream together until light in color, about 5-6 minutes on medium/medium-high.

3. Stop mixer, scrape down sides and bottom of bowl and add the lime juice. Mix together again.

4. In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour (see note), baking soda and sea salt. With mixer on low, add dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat together until just combined.

5. Using a 1 1/2″ ice cream scoop (or tablespoon) scoop dough and place onto the sheet pans about 2″ apart.

6. Bake cookies in the center of your oven for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and dough is set in the center. Remove from oven. Let cookies cool for 10 minutes on the sheet pan before moving to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes:
1. For more cake-like cookies, increase all-purpose flour by one more tablespoon.
2. Makes 2 dozen cookies.
