KEY LIME COOLERS

These tangy cookies are a favorite of mine. Light and tangy. Great when served with Sherbet as a light, company pleasing dessert. A little green coloring may be added but don't get them too green ! They pack well and look great on a cookie tray. Something different and not heavy or too rich. Pretty to look at too !

Categories     Cookies

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 c (1 1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3/4 c granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
4 Tbsp key lime juice
3 tsp key lime zest
1 large egg
2 1/2 c all purpose flour
3/4 c macadamia nuts, chopped
confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 F; set oven rack in top third of oven. Beat together butter, sugar, salt and baking powder in a medium mixing bowl, until well blended. Beat in lime juice, zest, and egg. Blend in the flour thoroughly (dough will be rather stiff). If using macadamia nuts, incorporate now. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 16 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool on the pan for a few minutes. While still slightly warm, roll in powdered sugar. Allow cookies to cool completely on wire rack, then coat with sugar again.

Tips:

1. Choose Key Limes: Use fresh key limes for the best flavor. Regular limes can be substituted, but they will have a slightly different taste. 2. Simple Syrup: Make sure the simple syrup is cool before adding it to the cocktail. This will help prevent the drink from becoming too diluted. 3. Fresh Mint: Use fresh mint leaves for garnish. This will add a refreshing touch to the cocktail. 4. Ice Cubes: Use large ice cubes to keep the drink cold. Smaller ice cubes will melt too quickly and dilute the drink. 5. Serve Immediately: Serve the cocktail immediately after making it. This will ensure that the drink is at its best flavor.

Conclusion:

Key lime coolers are a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With their combination of tart key lime juice, sweet simple syrup, and bubbly club soda, these coolers are sure to please everyone. Whether you're hosting a party or just looking for a tasty drink to enjoy on a hot day, key lime coolers are the perfect choice.
