Cottage Living, July 2008






List of Ingredients



• 3/4 cup butter, softened
  
• 2 cups sugar, divided
  
• zest of 2 limes (about 2 T)
  
• 1/2 cup sour cream
  
• 2 large egg yolks, at room temperature*
  
• 1 T fresh lime juice
  
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  
• 2 tsps baking powder
  
• 2 1/2 cups flour
  






Instructions



1. Beat butter, 1 1/2 cups sugar, and lime zest on medium speed with an electric mixer fitted with a paddle until lightly creamed. Add sour cream, and beat just until blended. Stir in egg yolks and lime juice, scraping down sides of bowl. Add salt, baking powder, and flour, and beat until blended. Chill dough 1 hour.
   
2. Preheat oven to 350. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a small bowl. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in sugar, and place on baking sheets.
   
3. Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes or until edges begin to brown; bottoms will look light golden. (For crispier cookies, bake a few additional minutes.) Remove to wire racks to cool.
