Instructions
PREPARATIONS
- Chop the chocolate into coarse pieces.
- Melt the butter in a pot or microwave.
- Zest the lime.
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another medium bowl, combine brown and white sugar. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract, whisking for a few minutes until creamy.
- Add a whole egg and an egg yolk, whisking until the mixture becomes thicker. Then, mix in the lime zest.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients from the other bowl, stirring a little before adding the chocolate. Mix just until combined and no flour is visible.
- Form the dough into 9 equal-sized balls and place them in a container that fits in the fridge. Chill the cookie dough balls for at least 2 hours or up to 48 hours if preparing ahead.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C / 425°F. Fill a small bowl with coconut flakes and roll the cookie dough balls in the flakes. Once the oven is hot, place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, coconut milk, and lime juice until you get a creamy, thick consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cookies in a zigzag pattern, sprinkle with a bit more lime zest, and enjoy!
