1/4 teaspoon salt

LOVELY LIME COOKIES



Lovely Lime Cookies image

I found this recipe in a newspaper. It makes very soft, lime flavored cookies. You might want to taste the lime juice you're using - I think the strength can vary, because, once when I made it, I couldn't taste the lime at all! The other times it has come through just fine. You can also substitute lemon juice. Note: I just made these cookies again and ended up with wonderfully soft, fluffy sugar cookies (read: no lime flavor at all). I'm hereby considering this recipe under construction, and may edit it to reflect some tinkering (with extracts or concentrates).

CHERRY LIMEADE COOKIES RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Cherry Limeade Cookies Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 15

LIMEADE FROSTING:
3/4 cup unsalted butter softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup icing sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pack cherry Kool-aid (unsweetened)
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups icing sugar
1/2 pack lime Kool-aid
3-4 tablespoon milk
maraschino cherries with stems

Steps:

  • In stand mixer combine butter and sugars. Beat until light and fluffy. Add kool-aid, vanilla and eggs. Mix well, then add flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until all combined. Divide dough into two 8x2-inch logs. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least one hour. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment. Remove cookie logs from refrigerator. Cut into 1/2 inch slices. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on cookie rack. LIMEADE FROSTING: Beat butter, icing sugar, kool-aid and milk together until frosting is fluffy, adding more milk if needed. Frost cooled cookies using a piping bag or just spread frosting on top of cookies. Complete with cherries on top of each cookie.

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • If you want a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Limeade cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're light and fluffy, with a tart and refreshing lime flavor. The frosting adds a sweet and creamy touch that complements the cookies perfectly. Whether you're a fan of limeade or just looking for a new cookie recipe to try, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
