Instructions

Cookies:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment or a silicone baking mat. Set aside. 
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Set aside. 
  • 3. Place the butter, oil, 2/3 cup sugar, and powdered sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer or large mixing bowl. Stir with the paddle attachment of a mixer, or using a hand mixer, for roughly 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. 
  • 4. Add the sour cream, egg, juice (3 tablespoons) of 1 lime, zest of 1 lime, and extracts. 
  • 5. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet until the dough just forms. 
  • 6. Spoon a heaping spoonful, or about 3 tablespoons, of dough. Roll into a ball and place onto your prepared tray. Leave 2 inches between each ball. 
  • 7. Once the tray is filled, dip the bottom of a glass in the remaining sugar. Gently press down each dough ball to 1/2 inch thickness. 
  • 8. Bake 10 minutes. 
  • 9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool 5 minutes on the pan. 

Frosting:

    2. Scrape the side of the bowl. Add the powdered sugar, lime juice, zest, and extract.
    3. Whip until desired consistency is reached. Spread onto cooled cookies.
