Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes for the best flavor. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Grate the key lime zest finely. This will help to release the flavor of the lime.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before rolling them in coconut. This will help to prevent the coconut from sticking to the cookies.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Key lime coconut snowballs are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover egg whites, and they are also a fun project to do with kids.
