Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons lime zest
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions of the dough, roll them into balls, and then coat each ball thoroughly in the powdered sugar.
Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Lightly press down on each ball to slightly flatten.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the edges are just beginning to turn golden.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy these zesty lime cookies with a cup of tea or as a refreshing dessert!
