These soft, chewy cookies are so easy to make and so full of flavour.
After my neighbour generously gave me a big batch of limes, I went through a serious lime baking phase. If you don’t believe me, check out my recipes for Lime Butter and these Lime Butter Puffs.
As it was, I got an opportunity to return the favour a few weeks later when Luce asked if I’d bake something for morning tea for her bridge ladies. I know those ladies need something restorative to have with their bridge break cuppa but I also know that they don’t like anything too sweet nor too crunchy (because you know, fragile teeth!)

I wanted to create a recipe with Luce’s limes and I also wanted to use up the last bit of cream cheese in the fridge so that’s how this recipe came to be. I love the combo of brown sugar and lime, it gives such a rich flavour and I love the chewiness of the coconut with the zest of the lime. These cookies are more cakey than crunchy and utterly delicious –  so much so that I can’t stop, won’t stop making these cookies! They’re uber quick, easy and delicious!
