Instructions
For cookies:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, and kosher salt, and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer add sugar, butter, lime zest, and vanilla extract.
- Mix until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times while mixing.
- Add in the lime juice and egg. Mix until combined.
- Slowly add in the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
- Let the dough rest for an hour in the fridge.
- Shortly before baking preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare baking sheets with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
- Scoop out 2 tablespoon balls of dough and place on your prepared baking sheets. Leave 2 inches between cookies.
- Place into the oven for 6 minutes, remove, flatten cookies to 1/4 inch thick with the bottom of a glass, and add back to the oven to bake for another 6 minutes.
For glaze:
- Whisk together powdered sugar and lime zest and glaze the tops of the cookies.
- If the glaze is too thick add more lime juice. If the glaze is too thin add more powdered sugar.
For topping:
- Top with chopped nuts if desired.
