For a more intense lemon flavor, increase the lemon zest to 1 teaspoon. Grinding the shredded coconut into finer pieces will help it blend more seamlessly into the cookie dough. Don't overbake the cookies; they should be slightly soft in the center for optimal chewiness. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
