Baking Lime Sugar Cookies is a simple process. Follow these easy steps to create your delicious cookies:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Egg and Flavorings: Mix in the egg, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
7. Roll in Sugar (Optional): If desired, roll the dough balls in granulated sugar for added sweetness and texture.
8. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
