How to Make Frosted Lime Wafers

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. **Make the wafers:** In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer for 30 seconds until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and the zest of 2 limes. Beat until well combined.
  4. Beat in 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice.
  5. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour, beating with the mixer until the dough starts to come together. Stir in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.
  6. Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each wafer.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Carefully remove the wafers from the baking sheets using a spatula and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. **Make the glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup (200g) powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, and 1-2 tablespoons fresh lime juice until smooth and of a pourable consistency. Add more lime juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Once the wafers are completely cool, dip the tops into the glaze, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  11. Place the glazed wafers, glaze-side up, back onto the wire rack to allow the glaze to set before serving. Enjoy!
