Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Start by toasting the coconut. Melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a small frying pan, add in the coconut and cook over low-medium heat for about 5 minutes until nice and golden. Make sure you are stirring it continuously and watching it. Once done spread it out on some wax paper or a paper towel to cool while you make the cookie dough.
Place sugars in a medium mixing bowl and add 1 tablespoon of lime zest. Rub with your fingers until the zest has become flavorful and mixed into the sugars.
Add the butter to the bowl and beat together until light, about 3 minutes. You can also mix this by hand. Add the egg, lime juice and coconut extract and mix again.
Slowly mix in flour, salt and soda, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl. Fold in toasted coconut.
Scoop the dough into large balls, I like to use a 3 tablespoon cookie scoop for these.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. You're looking for a nice light golden brown around the edges. Let them sit on the pan after baking to finish cooking slightly in the middle.
