Coconut & Lime Meringue Cookies

Limes were on sale at the store and I have really been wanting to try make some sugar free meringue cookies.  Last months menu at school had a coconut and lime pie on the menu so I have had that song stuck in my head for over a month. "Put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up!!" Well I am hoping that these cookies will get that silly tune to go away.

The cookies do have some sugar since I used a bag of sweetened coconut and the lime also has sugar but there is only 1/2 tsp of lime juice. Never the less these are delish! They are similar to a macaroon but really soft with the meringue. These are definitely worth a try. The meringue itself takes a little longer than a traditional meringue with real sugar. Have a little patients, just as I was about to toss it is when it started to thicken up!
