Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 teaspoons key lime zest
- 8 ounces unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons key lime juice
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- Icing for decorating (optional)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in the key lime zest.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and key lime juice to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the graham cracker crumbs.
- Scoop the cookie dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them a few inches apart. Bake at 350°F for 9 minutes or until the edges are just set. Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- If desired, mix powdered sugar with a small amount of milk to create an icing; drizzle icing over cooled cookies.
