Time 45m

Yield 55

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups butter, room temperature
2 ½ cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 tablespoon milk
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
3 drops green food color

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until well blended. Cover or wrap dough, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. If you are in a big hurry, freeze for a half hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 7 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • For the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the lime juice, milk, confectioners' sugar and green food color until smooth and creamy. Add more milk or sugar if necessary to achieve a good spreading consistency. When cookies are completely cool, spread icing between cookies to make sandwiches.

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes. Fresh limes will give your cookies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but it won't be as good.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking the cookies will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. If you frost the cookies while they are still warm, the frosting will melt and run.

Conclusion:

These lime sugar cookies are a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be decorated to fit any holiday or party. So next time you are looking for a sweet and tangy treat, give these lime sugar cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
