Made with fresh key lime juice and zest, they have a wonderful citrusy flavor that perfectly complements the soft and buttery cookie texture. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, from summer parties to holiday gatherings.

Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 3/4 cup granulated sugar. 1 egg. 1 tablespoon freshly grated key lime zest. 2 tablespoons fresh key lime juice. 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. Green food coloring optional. 1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling.

Instructions: Put the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until they are light and fluffy. Put the egg, key lime zest, and key lime juice in the bowl. Mix well until everything is well mixed. You can make the color stand out by adding a few drops of green food coloring. Mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together in a different bowl. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until you get a soft cookie dough. Put the dough in the fridge for at least an hour to make it firm. Warm your oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Make little balls out of the chilled cookie dough that are about an inch across. Once the baking sheet is ready, put the balls on it, making sure there is some space between them. Cover each ball in powdered sugar. Press down a little on each cookie with your fingers or the back of a spoon. After the oven is hot, bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Then, move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down. After the Key Lime Cookies have cooled, put them in a container that won't let air in. Enjoy these tasty, sour treats!
