If sunshine had a flavor, this coconut lime cookie cake would be it. Soft, buttery, and baked into one irresistible sliceable dessert, this recipe brings together the tropical sweetness of coconut with the bright, zesty pop of fresh lime. It’s the kind of treat that instantly transports you—one bite feels like a beachy getaway in your own kitchen. The edges bake up perfectly golden while the center stays tender and chewy, making it a dreamy cross between a classic cookie and a celebratory cake.
What I love most about this coconut lime cookie cake is how effortlessly impressive it is. It’s simple enough for a casual weekend bake, yet special enough to serve at birthdays, summer gatherings, or anytime you want something a little unexpected. The lime adds just the right amount of tang to balance the rich coconut flavor, and together they create a dessert that’s refreshing, comforting, and completely crave-worthy. Trust me—once you make this, it’s going to be a repeat recipe in your kitchen.
