MOJITO COOKIES
I've always liked bizarre cookie flavors. This came to me after I discovered the main ingredients of a favorite drink incorporated well into a cookie! The wonderful sandiness of a sugar cookie contributes to a slight effervescent feeling on the tongue as mint, rum, and fresh lime flavors play on the palate.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cream sugar, butter, and lime zest together in a medium mixing bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, fully incorporating 1 at a time. Mix in vanilla extract, mint extract, and rum extract.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Mix into the egg mixture about 1/3 at a time, making sure flour is fully incorporated before adding the next batch.
- Let chill in a refrigerator to allow the lime zest to impart greater flavor into the batter, up to 1 hour. Remove and allow to return to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
- Spoon tablespoons of batter onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light golden brown, about 10 minutes, turning halfway through baking time. Allow to cool on the cookie sheets.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter on medium speed until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar and mix on medium speed again until smooth and silky. Add one of the egg yolks, followed by the rum, lime zest, and mint. Reduce speed to low and add flour, mixing just until flour mostly disappears. Add pecans, and mix on low just until they are relatively evenly distributed throughout the mixture. Have two pieces of plastic wrap lying flat on a clean surface. Divide the dough in half, and transfer each half to a sheet of plastic wrap. Use the edges of the plastic to coax the dough into a disk shape, then cover completely with plastic and refrigerate about 30 minutes. Transfer one of the refrigerated disks to working surface, unwrap, and roll into a log about 1-1/2 inches thick. If log breaks, don't worry about it - you're slicing these into little coins anyway. Once both disks have been rolled into logs, wrap logs in plastic and return to refrigerator for about 2 hours to firm up. Preheat the oven to 350º. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. While the oven is preheating, whisk the remaining egg yolk in a small bowl until very smooth. Remove logs from refrigerator, and brush lightly with remaining egg yolk. Pour sanding sugar onto long, wide sheet of parchment paper, and carefully roll logs on sugar-covered parchment to coat with the sugar. If sugar doesn't stick, gently press the parchment paper into the logs to secure the sugar. Slice sugar-coated logs into cookies about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer cookies onto baking sheet leaving about 1/2 inch of space between each cookie. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until set but not browned. Transfer cookies to racks to cool. Cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week. If you plan to freeze the logs, do so before coating them with egg yolk and sugar.
THE REAL MOJITO
This is an authentic recipe for mojito. I sized the recipe for one serving, but you can adjust it accordingly and make a pitcher full. It's a very refreshing drink for hot summer days. Be careful when drinking it, however. If you make a pitcher you might be tempted to drink the whole thing yourself, and you just might find yourself talking Spanish in no time! Tonic water can be substituted instead of the soda water but the taste is different and somewhat bitter.

Steps:
- Place mint leaves and 1 lime wedge into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler to crush the mint and lime to release the mint oils and lime juice. Add 2 more lime wedges and the sugar, and muddle again to release the lime juice. Do not strain the mixture. Fill the glass almost to the top with ice. Pour the rum over the ice, and fill the glass with carbonated water. Stir, taste, and add more sugar if desired. Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
