How to Make Key Lime Shortbread Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the key lime zest and extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Flatten each ball slightly with a fork, creating a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges 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.
