Recipe: Coconut Lime Shortbread Cookies

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 325°F.
In a food processor, combine the coconut, sugar, lime zest, and vanilla extract, and pulse until the coconut is finely chopped.
Add the flour and pulse until combined.
Gradually add the butter pieces and pulse until the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the dough to a large bowl and knead until smooth, adding water if necessary.
Shape the dough into a ball and divide it in half.
On a floured surface, roll out one portion to about ¼-inch thickness and cut out cookies.
Place the cutouts on an ungreased cookie sheet and repeat with the remaining dough.
Bake for 15-17 minutes until the bottoms start to brown and cool on a wire rack.
For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, lime zest, lime juice, and water until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and add extra lime zest if desired.
