LIME AND BLACK PEPPER COOKIES image

Yield 4 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
¼ cup whole milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, at room temperature
2 cups (8.5 ounces) flour
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon lime zest (about 5 limes)
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Confectioner's sugar, for dusting the finished cookies
Black pepper, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the milk, vanilla and egg, and beat over low speed just to incorporate. 2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, lime zest, baking powder, pepper and salt, breaking up any lumps. 3. With the mixer on low speed, slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. 4. Place dough on a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a log shape about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. 5. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the dough log and slice crosswise into cookies one-fourth inch thick. Place the cookies on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake until a light golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. 6. Remove the cookies and cool on a rack. Dust the cooled cookies lightly with confectioner's sugar (and black pepper, if using).

I'm not a big fan of lime, but I actually really liked these cookies. The black pepper mellows out the lime flavor and makes them more palatable.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover limes. I always have a few limes in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.
