LIME- GLAZED TEA COOKIES



Lime- Glazed Tea Cookies image

Categories     Cookies     Tea     Side     Bake     Lime     Summer

Yield makes about 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons freshly grated lime zest
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
2/3 cup buttermilk
For the glaze
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper or spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a mixing bowl and set aside.
  • Beat the butter in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment at high speed until it is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the sugar and lime zest and continue to mix on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula halfway through mixing to ensure that the butter, sugar, and zest are well mixed.
  • Add the eggs and mix until combined. Again, scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure that the ingredients are incorporated.
  • Add approximately half the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until the flour is incorporated, about 30 seconds. Add the lime juice and buttermilk and mix until combined, about 15 seconds.
  • Add the remaining flour and mix until combined, about 15 seconds. Remove the bowl from the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure that the flour is fully incorporated. Compared with other, drier cookie doughs, this dough has a more pasty consistency.
  • Using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon measure, scoop the cookie dough about 1/2 inch apart onto the prepared pans. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the pans once halfway through, until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the pans to room temperature.
  • While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze. Sift the confectioners' sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the lime juice and buttermilk and mix with a fork until smooth.
  • Transfer the room-temperature cookies to a wire rack set over a sheet of parchment or waxed paper and spoon the glaze over them. Allow the glaze to set for 20 minutes.
  • Serve the cooled cookies immediately, or keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor for these cookies. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the cookies won't have as much flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will make it easier to handle and will help the cookies keep their shape when baking.
  • Make sure the oven is preheated: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking the cookies. If the oven is not preheated, the cookies will not bake evenly.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be baked until they are just set, but not overbaked. Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before glazing them. If you glaze the cookies while they are still warm, the glaze will not set properly.

Conclusion:

Glazed Lemon Tea Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and have a wonderful lemon flavor. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
