Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.

3. In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and lime zest until light and fluffy.

4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the lime juice and optional food coloring.

5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

6. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and powdered sugar for the coating.

7. Scoop the dough, about 1 tablespoon at a time, and roll it into balls. Roll each ball in the sugar mixture to coat it completely.

8. Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

9. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.

Don’t overbake to maintain texture.

Experiment with variations like other citrus zests.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
