Yield Makes about 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup lime sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Beat together butter, shortening, granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons lime sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together over egg mixture, then beat on low speed until just combined.
  • Form dough into a 10-inch log (2 inches in diameter) on wax paper, then wrap in wax paper. Chill dough until firm, at least 4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Remove wax paper and cut log into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Bake cookies 1/2 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets in batches in middle of oven 10 to 12 minutes, or until pale golden. Immediately transfer with a metal spatula to a rack set over a sheet of wax paper and sprinkle tops with remaining lime sugar. Cool cookies.

I'm not a big fan of lime, but I thought I would give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! The cookies were surprisingly delicious. The lime flavor was subtle and not overpowering. I will definitely be making these again.

These cookies were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add more lime zest next time. Overall, I liked the recipe and would make them again.

These cookies were easy to make and they turned out great! I used key limes and the flavor was amazing. The cookies were a bit crumbly, but that didn't bother me. I will definitely be making these again.
