ingredients

2 cups flour
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 limes, zest of
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Dusting Spices

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon, set aside.

Beat together butter, sugar and lime zest until fluffy. Gradually add lime juice. Stir in flour, gradually, blending well after each addition. Mix dusting sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl.

Roll rounded teaspoons of dough into 1" balls, and roll each in the sugar mixture. Arrange 1" apart on greased baking sheets. Use a decorative cookie stamp or bottom of a glass to flatten balls slightly. Bake 13 to 16 minutes, or until deep golden brown on the bottom.

  1. tejana

    Several things are wrong with this recipe: No amt of sugar is given to add to the spices that the cookies are rolled in before baking. 350 degrees is too hot. The cookies burn way before the suggested minimum time. Leave more than 1" beween cookies on the sheet. They run together. Make the suggestion to cool the cookies on the sheet for 1 minute before attempting to remove them. I wasted a lot of good ingredients because of these reasons.

  2. 1orchid REVIEW:

    Directions said to roll cookies in 'sugar' mixture before putting them in the oven BUT sugar was mentioned ONLY once and it went INTO the cookies. I used 'powdered' sugar and increased the 'spices' to 1/2 tsp. each.
