Method · 37 min
- We prepared all the ingredients.
- In a bowl, mix the butter, sugar, and lime zest until you obtain a creamy and homogeneous mixture.
- Add the lime juice and salt and mix until fully combined.
- We add the flour and mix gently until we obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough.
- We form the dough into a cylinder, wrap it in cling film, and roll it on the counter to even out its thickness. We let it cool in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
- Remove the film and cut the dough cylinder into slices about 5 to 7 mm thick.
- We placed the cookies on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between them.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10-15 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- To prepare the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with the lime juice. Add a little more juice gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
- Using a spoon, place a small amount of icing on the cooled cookies and spread it gently over the surface.
- We finish by adding lime zest on top before the glaze dries.
- We let the icing harden completely and then serve the lime cookies. And that's it!
