½ cup chopped cilantro
¼ cup whole-kernel corn
2 teaspoons green onions, chopped

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes for the best flavor. Limes that are too ripe or too green will not produce as much juice or have as strong a flavor.
  • If you don't have a zester, you can use a fine grater to remove the zest from the limes.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies to be tender and flavorful.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

Lime crescents are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a zesty lime flavor that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are making them for a party, a bake sale, or just to enjoy at home, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
