Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups sugar

- 1 Limoneira® lemon zest & juice
- 2 1/2 cups flour

- 1 cup dried unsweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- Combine the butter and sugar in a bowl, and beat together until the texture is light and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, as you continue to beat thoroughly. The texture should now be somewhat fluffy.
- Add the lemon juice to the mixture, and combine well.
- In a separate bowl, mesure the flour, lemon zest, ginger, coconut, baking power, baking soda and salt. Sift together to blend well.
- Add about half the dry ingredients in with the wet, and mix together.
- Then, add the remaining dry ingredients, and mix thoroughly.
- Drop the dough in rounded balls onto the cookie sheet at regular intervals of about 1-inch.
- At this point, you can freeze them for about 2 hours prior to baking.
- When ready, bake them in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are a golden brown.
