Ingredients

100g soft butter/spread

Juice & zest of 2 limes
200g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
100g desiccated coconut (reserved a few tbsps for sprinkling)

100g icing sugar
2 tbsp lime juice

Method

Preheat oven 170 C (fan 150 C)

Cream the butter & sugar until fluffy. Stir in the coconut (remember to keep a little for sprinkling) & lime juice (keep back 2 tbsp for the icing) & zest.
Fold in the flour & baking powder. Roll the mix into balls place on a lined baking tray and flatten with the palm of your hand, sprinkle with the reserved coconut and bake for about 15 minutes until golden.
Leave on the baking tray for about 5 mins until firm enough to transfer to a cooling rack.

Icing
Mix the icing sugar with the lime juice to get a good drizzling consistency. Then either drizzle from the spoon or use a piping bag to drizzle it over the biscuits
