Zubereitung von Key Lime Jewel Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the zest of 2 key limes.
- Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large egg yolks until well combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract and 2 tablespoons key lime juice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Add 2-4 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
- Stir in 1-2 drops of green food coloring until you reach your desired shade.
- Spread 1/2 cup chopped pine nuts in a single layer on a plate.
- Pinch off 1-inch portions of dough and roll into balls between your palms.
- Roll each dough ball in the pine nuts to coat evenly, and place on the prepared baking sheets.
- Use your index finger to create a small indentation in the center of each cookie.
- Fill each indentation with 1 teaspoon of raspberry preserves.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges of the pine nuts are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, lightly dust with powdered sugar.
- Enjoy!
