Indulge in the tangy and melt-in-your-mouth delight of our Lime Shortbread Cookies recipe - a refreshing twist on a classic treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp lime zest
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, powdered sugar, and lime zest until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a log about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough logs from the refrigerator and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
