Zubereitung von Lime Pistachio Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the zest of 2 limes and 1 cup shelled pistachios (roughly chopped).
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours for best flavor).
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out the chilled dough to ¼ inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to cut out desired shapes.
- Place cookies onto prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, decorate with lime icing (recipe below).
- **Lime Icing:** In a medium bowl, beat ½ cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter with 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth. Add 2-3 tablespoons milk and the zest of 1 lime, mixing until desired consistency is reached. Add more milk for a thinner icing, or more powdered sugar for a thicker icing.
