KEY LIME COOKIES



Key Lime Cookies image

Originally called Key Lime Dusties in the Homemakers Magazine! Most Key lime cookies are rolled in icing sugar, these are rolled in lime sugar - white sugar and finely grated Key lime zest, which I prefer. These little gems will melt in your mouth! You can use regular limes to make these too. See directions for preparing lime sugar before baking cookies.

Tips:

  • Use fresh key limes: Fresh key limes provide the best flavor and aroma to the cookies.
  • Zest the key limes finely: Finely zesting the key limes ensures that the zest is evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This step helps to incorporate air into the dough, resulting in a light and airy cookie.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and makes it easier to handle, resulting in more evenly shaped cookies.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: This ensures that the cookies are cooked through without overbaking.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This allows the cookies to set and firm up, resulting in a more flavorful and chewy cookie.
