Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1.5 tablespoons Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Confectioners' sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg, lime zest, and fresh lime juice to the butter mixture. Mix until fully combined.
Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into small balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden but the center still looks slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, use a fine mesh sieve to dust the cookies lightly with confectioners' sugar for a sweet finish.
Serve and enjoy your Tangy Lime Cookies!
