I got this recipe is from www.twopeasandtheirpod.com and it seems she got it from food blogs, Rock Recipes and My Baking Addiction. So this must be a popular recipe! And it should be b/c it's really good! The cookies also freeze well if you want to save some for another time.
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of one large lime
3 tbsp lime juice
½ cup toasted coconut
1/2 cup sugar for rolling cookies
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or Silpats.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. Using a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth and very fluffy. This will take a couple of minutes.
4. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, lime juice and lime zest. Mix until well combined.
5. Gradually add in the dry ingredients and toasted coconut. Mix until combined, don’t over mix.
6. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of cookie dough into balls. Put sugar in a small bowl and roll cookie dough balls in the sugar. Place on lined cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart.
7. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. The cookies will start to crack a little bit.
8. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes. Move cookies to a cooling rack.
*Note-to toast the coconut-place coconut on lined baking sheet. Bake for 5-8 minutes at 350 degrees. Tossing a couple of times. Remove from oven when coconut is light brown.*
Makes about 3 dozen cookies

Grilled Pineapple & Chicken Quesadillas
Flour tortillas
Fresh pineapple, sliced
2-3 chicken breasts
grated monterrey jack cheese
jalapeno, sliced (seeds & ribs removed if you don't want it spicy)
Cilantro
BBQ sauce
Adjust the ingredients according to how much you want to make & how much of each thing you want in your quesadillas - nothing complicated here.
Grill your pineapple slices and chicken breasts however you like to grill (outdoor, indoor grill pan, etc. I did mine on the George Foreman). A little s/p for the chicken is good & the pineapple doesn't need anything, just put it on the grill & let it get some golden grill marks. You could skewer it if you are afraid of it falling apart or down into the grill.
When the chicken is done, let it rest a couple of minutes then shred it or thinly slice it. Chop the pineapple into smaller, bite size pieces.
Now assemble your quesadillas: chicken, pineapple pieces, cheese. Then pour on some bbq sauce, add some cilantro and some jalapeno. Put the top tortilla on and bake in the oven, or in a skillet, however you usually make a quesadilla. We have a quesadilla maker.
Once the tortilla is browned and cheese melted, let it sit for a minute then cut into wedges (I use a pizza cutter). Serve with sour cream, pico de gallo, whatever you like.
These are so yummy! If you are in a pinch, you could use pineapple tidbits from a can, but drain them well. Also, even after sitting a few minutes these are so hot inside! The pineapples and cheese really hold the heat in, so don't burn your mouth!
