Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

Cookie dough

  • 2 Cups Gluten-Free Flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoon Lime Zest (appoximately 3 limes)
  • 2 tablespoon Lime Juice (approximately 3 limes)
  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 8 Tablespoons Butter, room temperature
  • 1 Large Egg, room temperature

Lime sugar

  • 1 Tablespoon Lime Zest
  • ½ Cup Granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350℉
  • Prepare 2 baking sheets by lining with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Using a stand-mixer with the paddle attachment, begin creaming the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy- approximately 2 - 4 minutes on medium speed (note: a hand mixer may also be used). Scrape the bowl as needed.
  • Add the egg and lime juice and mix on low speed until incorporated.
  • Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined.
  • Place ½ cup of granulated sugar and the zest from one lime in a small bowl. Rub together with your finger tips to infuse the lime flavor into the sugar.
  • Scoop cookie dough using a small cookie scooper (approximately 1 ½ tablespoon per cookie). Roll each cookie in the lime sugar.
  • Place cookies on the prepared cookie sheets. Leave approximately 2 inches of space between each cookie.
  • Bake cookies for 12 - 14 minutes or until the tops are a pale golden color.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. 

Notes

  • Store the gluten free lime cookies in an airtight container. The cookies stay fresh at room temperature for up to 5 days. Alternatively, to freeze, wrap the cookies well in plastic or foil and freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Use a light hand when rolling the cookies in the lime-infused sugar. You just want a light coating on each cookie before baking.
