Recipe: Lime Sugar Cookies.
1 Cup Butter
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 Cup lime juice
3 Cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Cup chopped pecans
Topping: 1/4 C granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 350F; lightly grease/butter/spray/parchmentize cookie sheets.
Cream butter; add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla and lime juice; mix until well blended (mixture will look curdled- don't panic.)
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and pecans. Gradually add to creamed mixture and beat until well blended.
Place heaping teaspoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets; flatten slightly and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 15 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges. Cool on racks; while still slightly warm, sprinkle again with sugar.
Helpful hint-
We didn't try, but I'd imagine that putting some lime zest in with the sugar for the topping would be pretty tasty...
