Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons lime zest
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams powdered sugar (for coating)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Beat in the egg, lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions of the dough, roll them into balls, and then coat each ball thoroughly in the powdered sugar.
Step 7
Arrange the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Lightly press down on each ball to slightly flatten.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the edges are just beginning to turn golden.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy these zesty lime cookies with a cup of tea or as a refreshing dessert!
