Preheat the oven to 350¨H and line the cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place sugar, cream cheese, and key lime zest in a large bowl. Pour warm butter over sugar and cream cheese and whisk until all combined. Add egg, milk, and lime juice, whisk well. Add flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and coconut flakes. Mix with rubber spatula until completely combined. Use a cookie scoop to get even cookies. (I use either #50 or #40 cookie scoop.) Gently roll the dough into a ball and drop it into the bowl with powdered sugar. Roll the ball in sugar and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Place the cookies on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes.
TIPS FOR BEST RECULTS:- Make sure to?whisk the ingredients very well?before adding the flour. After you add the flour, switch to a rubber spatula and only mix until combined.?Don¡¯t over-mix?at the end!
- Use a cookie scoop?to get even amounts of cookie dough. That way, your cookies will all bake evenly. I recommend using?#50 or #40 cookie scoop.
- Quickly but gently roll the?dough into a ball.?Don¡¯t take too long?and?don¡¯t handle the dough too much.
- If you want to have more key lime flavor, add?zest?from a couple more key limes. Do?NOT?add more lime juice! Only use zest to increase the flavor of key lime.
