Key Lime Cookies

These Key Lime Cookies are PURE perfection! A soft, tender cookie with just a hint of tangy key lime, topped with a sweet lime glaze is the perfect combination for the perfect sweet and tangy dessert! It is just like eating key lime pie, in cookie form! Laura's Notes: Add 1/4 teaspoon salt with butter if using unsalted butter Baked at 180°C for 9 mins, 8 mins and 8 mins at the bottom of the oven, each batch came out with browned edges and spread out - going to try again with brand new baking powder.

Step 1

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together. Then mix in the egg until well combined. Stir in lime zest.

Step 2

Add 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, and salt to the butter mixture and stir until combined. Continue adding flour by the 1/2 cup and mixing until all 2 cups are completely combined.

Step 3

Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to measure dough, then roll them into balls and slightly flatten with your palm and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 4

Bake at 375˚F for 8-9 minutes or until the center is just set. The cookies will remain light in color and will not get brown. Let the cookies sit for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.

Step 5

Make the icing by whisking the powdered sugar with the lime juice, salt and cream until smooth.

Step 6

Once the cookies are cool, dip the tops in the glaze by turning time upside down and gently lift them out, turn them over and return them to the cooking rack or a sheet of parchment to dry.
