This is such a fantastic and delicious cookie recipe – tasty Lemon and Lime Cookie Crisps! These sweet treats are light and fluffy on the inside but they are crispy on the bottom when you bite into them. Each cookie has a tangy burst of refreshing citrus flavor when you bite into it.
To make these cookies, start by making cookie dough infused with lemon and lime juice and zest for a citrus zing. This cookie dough is very soft sso I recommend using an ice cream scoop to shape into cookies. To serve, drizzle with icing and sprinkle with lime zest. Enjoy!
To make Lemon and Lime Cookie Crisps, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large baking bowl, mix ½ a cup of butter and ¾ cup of sugar.
Add one egg, one tablespoon of lemon juice, one tablespoon of lime juice, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of lime zest, and vanilla to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix well.
Add ½ a teaspoon of baking powder, ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, ¼ teaspoon of salt and 1¼ cups of flour. Stir with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are fully combined.
Using a small cookie scoop, spoon dough balls onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Leave the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Whisk 1½ cups of confectioners’ sugar with 1 tablespoon each of lemon and lime juice. Depending on the consistency of the prepared icing, you might need to add a little more juice or sugar to obtain a smooth icing.
Drizzle a little icing onto each of the cooled cookies and sprinkle the remaining lime zest onto the icing.
Enjoy these cookies once the icing has hardened. Store in an airtight container.
