Lime & Coconut Curd Cookies are a tropical treat that taste like sunshine in every bite. These cookies combine the creamy tang of lime curd with the nutty sweetness of coconut, all nestled into a soft, buttery sugar cookie base.

Lime & Coconut Curd Cookies

Ingredients

  • 125g unsalted butter, softened

  • 100g caster sugar

  • 1 egg yolk

  • 1tsp vanilla extract

  • 175g plain flour

  • 30g desiccated coconut

  • Pinch of salt

  • 150g Thursday Cottage Lime & Coconut Curd, for filling

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C/160C/gas mark 4. Line two trays with baking paper.

  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract, stirring until well combined.

  3. Fold in the flour, desiccated coconut, and salt, until a slightly sticky dough starts to form. Bring it together with your hands if needed.

  4. Take a piece of dough the size of a large walnut and roll it into a ball. Place it on the baking sheet and create an indent in the top using the back of a spoon. Repeat with the remaining dough.

  5. Spoon a generous helping of Lime & Coconut curd into the indent of each cookie.

  6. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden and crisp. Store in an airtight container and enjoy within 4 days.
