Limeade Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine the 2 teaspoons of lime juice with the milk, let stand for 5 minutes.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the lime zest and milk mixture. Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda, blend into the creamed mixture. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges are light brown. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the glaze, stir together the remaining lime juice and sugar. Brush onto cooled cookies.

Steps:

• In stand mixer combine butter and sugars. Beat until light and fluffy. Add kool-aid, vanilla and eggs. Mix well, then add flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until all combined. Divide dough into two 8x2-inch logs. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least one hour. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment. Remove cookie logs from refrigerator. Cut into 1/2 inch slices. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on cookie rack. LIMEADE FROSTING: Beat butter, icing sugar, kool-aid and milk together until frosting is fluffy, adding more milk if needed. Frost cooled cookies using a piping bag or just spread frosting on top of cookies. Complete with cherries on top of each cookie.

Steps:

• Beat butter, sugar, and confectioners' sugar until fluffy.
• Beat in egg yolks, vanilla, and lime zest. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt and stir into the butter mixture.
• Chill 30 minutes (I skipped this step). Roll tablespoonfuls into balls and flatten and sprinkle with coarse sugar and bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Whisk confectioners' sugar, green decorating sugar, and lime juice and spread over cooled cookies.

Steps:

• Beat butter with an electric mixer for 30 seconds.
• Add 1 c sugar and baking soda.
• Mix in the eggs and 1/2 of the limeade.
• Add flour (you may need to mix by hand as the dough gets very stiff).
• Drop by rounded teaspoonful onto ungreased baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 6-7 min in a 400 degree oven - until edges start to lightly brown.
• Cool on baking sheet for 1 min then remove to a wire rack.
• Brush cookies with remaining limeade and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time and the lime juice, and mix well. In separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to butter mixture until incorporated. Dough should be stiff but not dry. Shape into 1-inch balls, press thumb into center of balls to make an indentation, being careful not to press through to the bottom. Fill indentations with about 1 tablespoon Key lime curd. Bake for 15 minutes, until lightly brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar, egg, and egg yolk until smooth. Stir in lime juice and lime zest. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; blend into the creamed mixture. Form dough into 1/2 inch balls, and arrange on the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Sift confectioners' sugar over cookies while still warm.
