Ingredients
- 225 g unsalted butter, softened
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 2 limes lime zest
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 30 g cornstarch
- 0.5 tsp salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the lime zest, lime juice, and ground ginger to the butter mixture. Mix well until fully incorporated, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Scoop out the dough into 1-tablespoon-sized portions, rolling each into a ball. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the bottom of a glass to create a disc shape.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just barely golden but the tops remain pale.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the Lime Ginger Butter Cookies on their own or with a cup of tea for a refreshing treat.
