Comment préparer Key Lime Cookies

**Prepare the Lime Sugar:** In a small food processor, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and the zest of 2 key limes. Pulse until the sugar is finely textured and the zest is evenly distributed. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and let stand for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
**Whisk Dry Ingredients:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Set aside.
**Cream Butter and Sugar:** In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
**Add Wet Ingredients:** Beat in 1 large egg yolk, the zest of 1 key lime, and 1/4 cup fresh key lime juice.
**Combine Wet and Dry:** Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
**Pipe the Cookies:** Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch (1 cm) star tip. Pipe 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) long cookies onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
**Bake:** Bake in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges and ridges are just starting to turn golden brown.
**Roll in Lime Sugar:** Immediately after removing from the oven, roll the warm cookies in the prepared lime sugar until evenly coated.
**Cool and Enjoy:** Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Makes approximately 3 dozen cookies.
