Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment
paper. If you haven't already toasted your coconut just put a layer
of coconut on a cookie sheet and bake it at 350 degrees for 5-7
minutes. Watch out. It goes from white to burnt really quick if you
aren't watching closely.
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and
salt. Set aside.
Using a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth and
very fluffy.
Beat in egg, vanilla extract, lime juice and lime zest.
Gradually blend in the dry ingredients and toasted coconut.
Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll in sugar.
Place on lined cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. I made mine
too big and they ran together. These do spread quite a bit. Bake 8
to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned.
Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on
wire racks
