Lime Tea Cookies

First time making these cookies, they turned out to be very delicious. They are amazingly light and fluffy. It's a great light treat with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ingredients:

2 tsp lime juice
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp lime zest
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda

For glaze:

2 tbs lime juice
1/4 cup sugar powder


Direction:
  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Combine the 2 tsp of lime juice with milk, let stand for 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter ans 3/4 cup sugar until light and fluffy (about 4 min) . Beat in the egg ( about 1 min), then stir in the lime zest and milk mixture (about 3 min). Combine the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, blend into the creamed mixture (about 2 min, stir to speed 2). Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the ungreased cookie sheets.
  3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes ( but i baked for 18 min) in the preheated oven, until the edges are light brown. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 min before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. To make the glaze, stir together 2 tbs lime juice and sugar powder. Brush onto cooled cookies.

Let the glaze completely dry before putting it into air steel container. Hope you will enjoy these tea time cookies.
