Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 unit Large egg
• 1 tablespoon Key lime zest
• 1 tablespoon Key lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 drops Green food coloring (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg, key lime zest, key lime juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, beating on low speed until a smooth dough forms.

Step 5

If desired, add the green food coloring to the dough and mix until evenly colored.

Step 6

Transfer the dough to a cookie press fitted with your desired shape disk, then press cookies directly onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 7

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn lightly golden. Do not overbake.

Step 8

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a key lime glaze for extra sweetness and decoration.
