Time 1h15m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons lime peel, finely grated, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think next time I would use less sugar or maybe even omit it altogether. Overall, these are a good cookie recipe and I would recommend them to anyone who loves lime and whit

These cookies were easy to make and turned out great! I used a different type of chocolate than the recipe called for, but they still turned out delicious. I would definitely recommend these cookies to anyone looking for a tasty and easy dessert.

I made these cookies last night and they were delicious! The flavors were perfect and the cookies were so soft and chewy. I will definitely be making these again soon.
