Partly inspired by boyfriend's request for cookies, Erin's key-lime cupcakes and July 4th discount cookie cutters at Michael's ...it's Limey Freedom Cookies!
they were awesome, so heres the recipe:
1 1/4 sticks of unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups flour (I used self rising)
1/2 cup extra fine white sugar
1 tsp vanilla (plus a couple extra drops for icing)
1 lime (zest lime and juice)
powdered sugar for icing
preheat oven to 350.
cut butter into little pieces and mix in flour with fingers so its all crumbly (I usually end up adding a little extra flour) mix in sugar, vanilla, lime zest and half the juice (about 1 tablespoon) mix to form dough.
flour work surface and roll out dough to about 3/4 inch, stamp out cookies and arrange on greased cookie sheet, bake for about 17 minutes.
icing:
combine about a cup of powdered sugar, the rest of the lime juice (about another tablespoon) and a couple of drops of vanilla, mix until smooth.
when cool, spoon icing over cookies and let set.
Sounds delicious Niki, it's raining here in England today, so maybe I'll stay in and make some of your cookies :o)
