Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies

These are delicious cookies. Just enough crunch and the taste is delicious. I love lime and I adore coconut. Well I know you are hungry for
something sweet so here go.

Not much of a story with these cookies just the love of coconut. Emphasis on the "nut"

I do a lot of caning and lime is one of my favorite citrus to work with so this did come from that bag of tricks also

* I took half the coconut that was to be put into the mixture for the dough and toasted it. I love toasted coconut. But do not do anything to the coconut that you coat them with it toasted itself.
