Spring Lime Tea Cookies


Servings: 24

INGREDIENTS:
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons lime zest
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup white sugar

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine the 2 teaspoons of
lime juice with the milk, let stand for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and
fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the lime zest and milk mixture.
Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda, blend into the creamed
mixture. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges are light
brown. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before
transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the glaze, stir together the remaining lime juice and sugar. Brush
onto cooled cookies.
