Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, pure vanilla extract, lime zest, and lime juice until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a smooth dough forms. Do not overmix.
Fit a cookie press with your desired disc shape and fill it with dough. Press the cookies directly onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake, as these cookies are meant to be tender and light.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely before serving.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
