Zesty Lime Cookies
Ingredients
- Cookies:
- 3/4 cup (300 mL) All Vegetable Shortening
- 1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) lime zest
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) lime juice
- 2 cups (500 mL) Robin Hood® Original All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) baking powder
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
- Glaze:
- 1 cup (250 mL) icing sugar
- 3 tbsp (45 mL) lime juice
- 2-3 drops green food colouring (optional)
Directions
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2:
Beat shortening and sugar in a large bowl using electric mixer until well combined. Add zest and lime juice. Beat well. Add remaining dry ingredients and mix until dough comes together.
Step 3:
Roll 2 tbsp (30 mL) dough on a lightly floured surface to form a 4” (10 cm) log. Curl into a ring and gently press ends together. Your cookie will look like a small donut. Place on prepared baking sheets.
Step 4:
Bake in preheated oven 15 to 17 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to finish cooling.
Step 5:
Glaze: Combine ingredients for glaze in a small bowl. Drizzle over the cookies to create a zigzag pattern and wait for the glaze to set.
