Ingredients
- 227 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 60 ml lime juice
- 2 tablespoons lime zest
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 whole eggs
- 100 grams powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the lime juice and lime zest. Mix until combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Slightly flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon.
Step 7
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 8
Once the cookies are cooled, dust them generously with powdered sugar for a delicate, sweet finish.
Step 9
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
