Time 25m

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 egg, plus
1 egg yolk
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (or Key Lime juice)
1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest (green part only)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix butter, sugar, egg and egg yolk until creamy.
  • Thoroughly mix in flour, baking powder, salt, lime juice and lime peel.
  • Form dough into 1/2-inch balls and place on lightly greased baking sheets.
  • Bake at 350º for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Remove to wire rack.
  • While still warm, sift confectioner's sugar over cookies.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Key Limes: Using fresh key limes is crucial for achieving the authentic key lime flavor in these cookies. Bottled or store-bought key lime juice won't provide the same zest and aroma.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much and ensures a crispier texture.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and avoid overworking the dough.
  • Use Parchment Paper: Lining the baking sheets with parchment paper prevents the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Bake the Cookies Until Golden Brown: Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown. Overbaking can dry out the cookies, so keep a close eye on them during baking.
  • Let the Cookies Cool Completely: Allowing the cookies to cool completely before transferring them to a wire rack helps them set and prevents them from breaking.
  • Store the Cookies Properly: Store the key lime crisps cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These key lime crisps cookies are a delightful treat that combines the bright and tangy flavor of key limes with a crispy, buttery texture. By following the tips provided, you can create perfect key lime crisps cookies every time. Whether you're enjoying them as a snack, dessert, or gift, these cookies are sure to impress with their unique flavor and delightful crunch.
