    lime coconut sandwich cookies

    About a month ago I attended a Blogger event at Specialty Produce in San Diego. I have been a long time fan of theirs, visiting regularly before events to get the freshest produce. Therefore learning about their blogger program was seriously an added bonus.

    After giving us a tour and a produce taste testing, they provided us with one of their Farmer's Market Boxes. It was filled with gloriously fresh produce that sent my creative juices wild. I also picked up a number of other ingredients in which I made countless seasonal recipes that will be shared over the next few weeks. Of these recipes, a favorite was born. Well, actually two. This Ginger Rhubarb cocktail will be shared on Friday and let me tell you- it is good. Like crazy good.

    The other favorite were these cookies. Lime and coconut are one of my favorite flavor combinations. These cookies were light, fresh, and perfectly sweet. The cookies themselves were chewy and zesty and paired with the chewiness of the coconut they were utterly perfect. So perfect, that I have some butter softening as we speak to make them again!

    If you are in the San Diego area, I highly recommend subscribing to the Specialty Produce Farmer's Market Box. In fact, if you are in North County let me know and we can set up a drop stop. The boxes are only $20 and will provide a family of 5 (my personal experience) with fresh produce for the better part of the week. They also have juicing boxes which are $15 each and come with everything you need to juice.

    And if you are not located in San Diego, I urge you to make these cookies anyway. They are worth it!

      Citrus and coconut are such a classic combination so I can imagine these cookies taste divine. They look great too!
