Luscious Lime Cookies

Lovely, luscious lime cookies are perfect for you citrus lovers. Coat them in lime-scented sugar, as pictured, for the biggest lime flavor; for a milder, sweeter cookie, add white chocolate chips, or a slather of white chocolate icing.

Luscious Lime Cookies

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) softened butter
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar or glazing sugar
  • 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons lime powder (depending on the degree of tartness you like)
  • 1/2 teaspoon lime oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt*
  • 1 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

Topping

  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar or glazing sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lime powder

Instructions

  1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix together the butter, sugar, lime powder, lime oil, and salt; there's no need to beat at high speed, just mix together.
  3. Mix in the flour. Cover the dough, and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or as long as overnight.
  4. Just before baking, heat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  5. Remove the dough from the fridge, and scoop teaspoonsful onto the cookie sheet, 1 1/2 inches apart.
  6. Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, until set and lightly brown around the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven, and let cool for 10 minutes.
  8. Mix the topping ingredients, and put in a 1 gallon zip top bag.
  9. Add 5 or 6 warm cookies at a time, and shake gently until they're coated. The sugar may get a bit sticky; that's okay.
  10. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool, then coat the completely cooled cookies in the sugar again.

Notes

* Reduce salt to 1/4 teaspoon if using salted butter.
