1 c Sweetened condensed milk 2 c Unsweetened coconut flakes
4 tb Key lime juice 4 tb Sugar
4 tb All-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 baking sheets.
Combine the condensed milk, Key lime juice, and flour in a medium
bowl. Stir in the grated coconut and then the sugar. If using
sweetened coconut, taste the mixture before adding the sugar. Add
the sugar only if you think it is necessary. The cookie should have
a tangy flavor from the Key lime juice. Drop teaspoons of the
mixture onto a baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each cookie;
they will spread while baking. Bake for 25 minutes until they just
start to turn golden. Remove from the pan to a rack to cool. Store
in an airtight container.
