I wonder if you can use coconut oil instead of butter or palm shortening.

Maybe, maybe not. Try it with half butter or palm shortening and coconut oil and if that turns out fine use 100% coconut oil (make sure it's at soft butter consistency). I can't say for sure as I haven't tried it myself. :)

I made these cookies and we loved the flavor and the texture. I used only lime juice and lime zest. I don`t know maybe it was my rice flour, but this recipe needs more coconut and rice flour. I followed the recipe exactly and the texture was watery for cookies, so I added more coconut flour. Or maybe the texture will be right just with one egg. But overall I liked this recipe, I will use it to make citrus cookies.
