How to Make Lime And Pepita Sugar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Toast pepitas: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pepitas for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
- Cream together butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 2 cups of sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the oil and lime zest.
- Add eggs and lime juice: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 1/4 cup of lime juice.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the toasted pepitas.
- Prepare the remaining sugar mixture: In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar with the zest of 2 limes.
- Shape and coat cookies: Using a heaping tablespoon of dough, roll into balls. Roll each ball in the lime zest-sugar mixture to coat.
- Bake the cookies: Place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie. Gently flatten each cookie with the bottom of a glass.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
