It’s almost the end of March (can’t believe it!) and that means it’s time for Mystery Dish reveal!! Mystery Dish is a group of talented food bloggers that I joined last month (read more about it here). Each month a list of secret ingredients are selected by a host and group members get to create a unique recipe using two or three of the mystery ingredients (Chopped-style!).
The lovely Kat, from I Want Crazy, was our host this month and she picked these fun ingredients:
- Boxed Cake Mix
- Peeps
- Oats
- Ginger
- Honey
- Wine
- Shallots
- Coconut
- Shrimp
- Cinnamon
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Kiwi
- Dried Fruits
It has been a while since I made some oatmeal cookies. Actually a few months since these vanilla pomegranate oatmeal cookiesย so I had oatmeal cookies in the head when I saw the secret ingredients. Since I always jump at the opportunity to add coconut to everything, I had to take it one step further and create a flavor combination that is unexpectedly superb.
These honey coconut lime oatmeal cookies are just that. The cookies are soft, chewy and chunky and they are filled with crunchy toasted coconut flakes, zest of fresh lime and the sweetness of natural honey. Absolutely delicious and “the best cookie” I’ve made to date according to Mr J (the resident taste tester). The hints of citrus blended with tropical coconut is truly amazing! Try them please ๐

Really yummy! I used raw sugar instead of brown and only 1/8 cup instead of 1/4 and substituted 1/2 of the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour. My 3 yr old grand-daughter and I made these. Great fun for her to flour up her hands a bit and make into balls and press down. Use 1/4 cup dough for each ball. A total winner and one of the few cookie recipes I will repeat. Thanks so much.
Very glad to hear that!
I love everything about these cookies! Wish I had at least 6 right now! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
What an awesome combination and such a unique cookie! I love it! Anytime there is lime + honey – count me in! Pinned!

I love the flavor combo, Zainab! Honey, lime, and coconut, and oatmeal! So different but it sounds so Spring-y and delish! Pinning! PS- I love your high-heel bullet points ๐
I’m slightly obsessed with this flavor combo! I mean, I love honey and lime…and coconut and lime…so the pairing of all three seems pretty perfect!
Wow – these cookies look and sound delicious. Love the combination of all of these flavors – you’ve pretty much nailed it with this recipe, Zainab!!!
I love these cookies, they look moist but still have that crunch due to the oatmeal! Delicious treats!
