Ingredients

Refrigerator cookies
Makes
55 to 60 cookies
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Steps
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in lime zest, juice, egg yolk, and salt. Stir in flour to make a medium dough. Form dough into a log about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cut 1/8-inch-thick slices from the dough log and transfer to ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in the center of the oven for 9 to 11 minutes, just until edges turn golden. Let cool on baking sheets for 1 minute, then remove to wire racks.
