How to Make Lemon Lime Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 tablespoons grated lemon peel, 1 tablespoon grated lime peel, ¼ cup lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons lime juice. Beat in 1 large egg.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
- Cool cookies on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cookies are completely cool, frost with Lemon Lime Frosting (recipe below).
