Step-by-Step Instructions for Lime Sugar Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, fresh lime juice, and lime zest into the butter-sugar mixture until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll them into balls, and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- If adding a glaze, combine powdered sugar and lime juice in a bowl, then drizzle over cooled cookies.

Notes
For best results, chill the dough and avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender. Enjoy fresh or freeze for later!
