LEMON OR LIME MERINGUE COOKIES
an easy and very low fat cookie that is suitable for passover. Using citrus juice stabilizes the meringue so you don't need cream of tartar or vinegar. This makes a light cookie that is chewy inside- if you'd like a drier meringue you can bake at 250 for an hour then turn the oven off and leave it in for another hour- those taste more like the meringues you can buy at the store

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a food processor work bowl, add sugar and lime zest. Process until sugar and zest are well mixed, about 20 seconds. Scrape into a large mixing bowl. Reserve about 1/2 cup of lime sugar in a separate bowl for later use.
- Add flour, baking powder and salt into food processor and pulse briefly to mix. Add cold butter into food processor with flour mixture and 3 ounces of the pistachios. Process with short pulses until mixture resembles cornmeal and no large lumps of butter remain, about 10 seconds. Add remaining pistachios and mix briefly, about 5 seconds. Pour this mixture into the sugar and lime mixture in the large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix egg yolks, vanilla extract, almond extract, and lime juice together.
- Using an electric mixer with a paddle attachment, pour in the lime/sugar and flour/butter mixture and stir until combined, about 15 seconds. Then, while the mixer is still running, slowly add egg/lime juice mixture and mix until well combined and dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 15 to 30 seconds.
- Scrape the dough into a large bowl and refrigerate until cold, but not solid, about 30 minutes. Use an ice cream scoop to scoop the dough onto parchment-lined cookie sheets. Take the dough balls and roll the tops into the reserved lime sugar. Use the bottom of a water glass to press the cookies flat, about 1/4-inch thick. Bake the cookies until slightly browned, about 15 minutes. Remove the parchment paper with the cookies from the tray to a cooling rack and cool.

Tips:
- Use fresh limes. Fresh limes will give your cookies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- 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 before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
- Let the cookies cool completely before serving. Letting the cookies cool completely will help them set and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
Lime cookies are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them chewy or crispy, with or without nuts, lime cookies are sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give lime cookies a try!
