Step 1: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) to ensure even baking.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Grate the rind of 2 or 3 limes and fold it into your mixture.
Step 5: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, coconut flakes, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
Step 6: Using a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
Step 7: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked.
Step 8: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
