Time 1h59m

Yield 12 to 14 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 large limes, zested
1 egg, at room temperature
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (2 to 3 large limes)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups rice flour, plus extra for dusting
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
2 large limes, zested
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • For the cookies: Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse together the butter, sugar, and lime zest until combined. Add the egg, lime juice, and vanilla. Process until smooth. Add the rice flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Process until the mixture forms a dough. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 20 seconds. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly flour a work surface. Cut the dough in half and roll out each piece into a 9-inch diameter circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut the dough into 10 circles and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough, knead together, and roll out to 1/4-inch thick. Cut out 2 additional rounds of dough and place on the baking sheet. Bake until light golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • For the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lime zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the glaze onto each cookie leaving, a 1/4-inch border around the edge. Allow the glaze to harden for about 45 minutes before serving.

CORNMEAL-LIME COOKIES



CORNMEAL-LIME COOKIES image

Categories     Citrus

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cookies:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 c. granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 t. vanilla
3 T. coarsely grated lime rind (about two limes; reserve the limes to use for juice later)
1 c. medium-grained cornmeal (not corn-flour)
1/4 c. cornstarch
1/2 c. potato flour
1/2 t. salt
3/4 t. baking soda
1/2 t. cream of tartar

Steps:

  • Prep: Zest and juice the limes. Set aside. Whisk the dry ingredients (cornmeal, potato flour, cornstarch, salt, soda and tartar) together in a medium bowl. Set aside. Cream: Put the room temperature butter in the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large kitchen bowl. Beat on medium speed for about 1 minute, or by hand until light and fluffy. Add the sugar in two separate additions. Scrape the sides of the bowl, add the egg, and beat for about 30 seconds; the mixture should be very light and creamy. If necessary, scrape the sides of the bowl a second time to ensure the egg is fully combined. Add the vanilla and the lime rind (NOT the juice). Finish the batter: Stir in the dry ingredients in three separate additions. The mixture will become fairly stiff, but should be manageable. Chill the dough for 2 hours. Bake: Set the rack in the upper third of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees. Roll walnut-sized balls, and depress slightly with index and middle finger; or if available, use smallest sized cookie scoop. Bake 30 cookies to a sheet for 8 minutes, until puffed and light gold.

LIME & CORNMEAL COOKIES



LIME & CORNMEAL COOKIES image

Categories     Cookies     Citrus     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 large limes, zested
1 egg, at room temperature
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (2 to 3 large limes)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups rice flour, plus extra for dusting
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Glaze:
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
2 large limes, zested
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Special equipment: 3-inch round cookie cutter

Steps:

  • For the cookies: Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper. Set aside. In a food processor, pulse together the butter, sugar, and lime zest until combined. Add the egg, lime juice, and vanilla. Process until smooth. Add the rice flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Process until the mixture forms a dough. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 20 seconds. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly flour a work surface. Cut the dough in half and roll out each piece into a 9-inch diameter circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut the dough into 10 circles and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough, knead together, and roll out to 1/4-inch thick. Cut out 2 additional rounds of dough and place on the baking sheet. Bake until light golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes. For the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lime zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the glaze onto each cookie leaving, a 1/4-inch border around the edge. Allow the glaze to harden for about 45 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice provides a vibrant citrus flavor to the cookies. Avoid using bottled lime juice, as it can be less flavorful and lack the same zest.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough cookies. Mix the ingredients until just combined to ensure a tender texture.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps to firm it up and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the Cookies Until the Edges Are Golden Brown: The cookies are done baking when the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking can dry out the cookies.
  • Let the Cookies Cool Completely: Allowing the cookies to cool completely before enjoying them helps to develop their flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

These cornmeal lime cookies offer a unique and delightful combination of flavors and textures. With their zesty lime flavor, tender crumb, and slight crunch from the cornmeal, they are sure to become a favorite treat. Whether you enjoy them as an afternoon snack, dessert, or anytime in between, these cookies are a delicious and satisfying choice. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and embark on a culinary journey to create these irresistible cornmeal lime cookies. Happy baking!
