For the Cookies
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon coconut flavoring
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Frosting
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
For Decorating
- additional lime zest
- lime wedges, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugars. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter, sugar, and powdered sugar. Cream until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients. Add the oil, egg, lime juice, and coconut flavoring. Mix well, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the dry ingredients. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly, scraping down the sides often.
- Scoop and shape the cookies. Using a large ice cream scoop, divide the dough between the baking sheets. Gently flatten each ball to about 1/2 inch thick.
- Bake. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the centers are set. Do not allow the edges to brown. The bottoms should be just lightly golden.
- Cool completely. Let the cookies cool completely before frosting.
- Make the frosting. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter and powdered sugar. Mix on low until combined.
- Finish the frosting. Add the lime juice and lime zest. Mix on medium until smooth and fluffy, scraping down the sides often.
- Frost and decorate. Spread a thin layer of frosting over each cooled cookie. Sprinkle with additional lime zest and decorate with lime wedges if desired.
Notes
- Do not overbake these cookies or they will lose their soft bakery-style texture.
- Fresh lime zest gives the frosting the best flavor.
- For thick cookies, use a large scoop and flatten the dough only slightly.
- Store frosted cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator if your kitchen is warm.
