LIME COOLERS
Steps:
- Make Classic Sugar Cookies with lime zest instead of orange. Whisk 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, 2 tablespoons green decorating sugar and 3 tablespoons lime juice, then spread over finished cookies.
Tips:
- Prep ahead: To save time, you can make the dough and chill it up to 3 days in advance. You can also bake the cookies and freeze them for up to 2 weeks.
- Use fresh limes: The zest and juice of fresh limes give these cookies their bright, citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor won't be as good.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies keep their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
These Holiday Lime Cooler Cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for cookie exchanges and holiday parties. They are easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making them a great option for busy holiday bakers. The bright, citrusy flavor of the lime is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
