Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Beat in the egg, pure vanilla extract, lime zest, and lime juice until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a smooth dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fit a cookie press with your desired disc shape and fill it with dough. Press the cookies directly onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake, as these cookies are meant to be tender and light.
Step 8
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely before serving.
Step 9
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
