A delightful blend of buttery softness and zesty lime, these cookies are the perfect treat to brighten your day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare for the aroma of freshly baked cookies to waft through your home.
  2. Cream together the softened butter, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Combine the all-purpose flour and salt into the mixture, mixing just until the dough begins to come together.
  4. Stir in the lime zest and lime juice, allowing the bright citrus notes to infuse your dough.
  5. Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, flattening each ball slightly.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Whisk together powdered sugar and lime juice to prepare the glaze while the cookies cool.
  8. Drizzle the glaze over cooled cookies with a spoon or piping bag.
  9. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

Notes

For extra lime flavor, add more zest. Store cookies in an airtight container or freeze for longer storage.
