TOASTED COCONUT + LIME CURD + MACADAMIA NUT COOKIES

in

If a cookie could transform itself into warm sands of a tropical island with soft coconut breezes, this cookie would be it! Toasty coconut and buttery sweet macadamia nuts get tossed into a lime zest sugar cookie to create a superbly soft and buttery cookie dough base. A simple, zippy, zesty lime curd then gets nuzzled into the cookie to create a delightful puddles of lime goodness. As the cookies bake up the notes of coconut amplify and the macadamia nuts get extra buttery! The lime curd becomes slightly thicker and provides the perfect amount of creaminess and tang to round the cookie together. I’m not even the biggest coconut fan but I really liked these!

Yuzu + Mint + Lime Mojito Cookies

in

These ultra- soft chewy sugar cookies are inspired by the fresh, minty Mojito cocktail. Refreshing, zesty, tangy lime mingles with sweet, fresh mint and citrusy floral yuzu chocolate. I was inspired by the basil sugar I made a while back to create a mint sugar. The fresh mint gets ground with white sugar to create a flavorful and very beautiful sugar! Once you make this mint sugar you’ll never go back to plain old sugar, it is absolutely gorgeous and versatile. The aroma itself is so inviting and lovely! The entire cookie is bursting with bright citrus flavor from the lime zest and yuzu chocolate. A final note on these cookies, be sure not to overbake them or else you’ll miss on that ultra-plush, soft chewy texture that makes these cookies unbelievably addictive.
