🍋🟩✨💋Lime Sugar Cookies🍋🟩✨🎀
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Ap Flour
- 1 stick salted butter room temp
- 1 egg room temp
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp lime extract for topping
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- zest from a lime
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- turbinado raw sugar roll
- 3 drops green food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and a pinch of the lime zest. Set aside.In another bowl using a handheld mixer or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and mix until fully combined.With the mixer on low speed, add in the remaining lime zest, lime extract, lime juice, green food coloring, and vanilla extract.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for the best chewy texture.
- Remove dough from fridge and scoop into cookie dough balls using a cookie scoop.For extra sparkle and crunch, roll each cookie dough ball in turbinado raw sugar before placing onto the baking sheet.
- Bake for 9–10 minutes or until the edges are set. The centers should still look slightly underbaked — they’ll continue setting as they cool, giving you that perfect chewy texture.Top with extra lime zest or a sprinkle of sugar while warm and enjoy 💚
