Directions:
Preheat oven to 325ºF. In a food processor, combine coconut, sugar, lime zest, and the vanilla. Cover and process until coconut is finely chopped. Add flour; cover and process with one on/off pulse just to combine. Add butter; cover and process until mixture starts to cling. Transfer to a mixer bowl and mix until dough is smooth. Shape dough into a ball, divide in half.

Roll into 1 inch balls and flatten them on the cookie sheet with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.

Bake for 15-17 minutes or just until bottoms start to brown. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool.

Lime Glaze: stir together 2 cups icing sugar, 1/2 tsp lime zest and 1 tbsp lime juice. Stir in enough water to make a glaze (2-3 tbsp).

Layer cookies between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container. Store at room temp for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
