Power of 2


I found this really easy no egg cookie recipe. Originally, it was for lemon cookies, but I substituted with limes, which turned out really good. It only uses 5 ingredients, which makes it really easy to remember. Sort of like my vanilla ice cream base. Anyway, here it is,

Lime (or Lemon) Cookies

Ingredients

2 sticks butter
2 cups powder sugar
Juice of 2 limes or lemons
Zest of 1 lime or lemon
2 cups flour

Method

Preheat oven at 350F.

In the bowl of a mixer, cream butter and powder sugar on low setting. Add juice and zest. Add flour 1 cup at a time. Mix until dough comes together. Turn out onto a square of plastic wrap and form into a log. Wrap and place in refrigerator for an hour to cool.

Slice thin cookies about 1/4 inch thick and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Leave 1/2 inch space between cookies. Bake 8 min. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
