My FB calendar tells me that Friday, 5/17 is National Baking Day. We don't have any "baking" product except for the Gingerbread Girl and the Gingerbread House so we decided a nice lime cookie recipe would work!
Lime Moon Cookies
1 c soft butter
¼ t salt
1 to 2 T lime rind
Green decorator sugar
1 c sifted confectioners sugar
¼ t green food color
2 ½ c sifted flour
Mix butter, sugar, salt, food coloring and rind thoroughly. Add flour and blend. Wrap dough in wax paper and refrigerate for 1/2 hour. Roll ¼ inch thick on floured surface. Cut into 2” circle – then cut in half – sprinkle with decorator sugar. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 6 to 8 minutes in 375 degree oven. Cool.
Make mixture – 1 egg white – 1 t water – dip outside edge of cookie in mixture – then in color sugar. This makes the cookie look like the outside still has the rind on it.
Icing – 1 c sifted confectioners sugar, ¼ t salt, 1 T lime juice. An added flavor to the cookie!
This was always on our Christmas Cookie list to make.
