I love this recipe of Spring Lime Tea Cookies for the perfect buttery, light and fluffy cookie. Accompanied with a cup of traditional Chinese jasmine tea, this citrus bursting cookie is a great tea time snack that is not too heavy.
This recipe is also very simple to follow and quick to prep if your girlfriends decide to come over for a spontaneous tea party. Most of the ingredients can be found in your pantry with that added bit of extra lemon zest. The lemon, sugar frosting also gives the cookie an extra special touch to finish it off with.
To make Spring Lime Tea Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat oven to 350 °F
Combine the 2 tsp of lime juice with the milk and let it stand for 5 minutes
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and ¾ cup of white sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg.
Stir in the lemon zest and the milk mixture.
Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda and blend into the creamed mixture.
Place rounded spoonfuls of dough cookie onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Bake the sheet of cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 mins until the edges are light brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, stir together the remaining lime juice and sugar. Brush onto the cooled cookies.
