Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons key lime juice
- 2 tablespoons key lime zest
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the key lime juice and key lime zest to the butter mixture and mix until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each dough ball with the back of a flat-bottomed glass or your fingertips to form small discs.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar for a light, sweet finish.
Serve and enjoy your crisp, flavorful Key Lime Crisps Cookies!
