Sea Salt Lime Cookies

 

2½ cups flour

3 medium limes

1 tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. salt

1½ cups butter

1½ cups sugar

2 large egg yolks

1 tsp flaky sea salt

 

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Zest and juice limes.

Whisk together the flour, 2 Tbsp. of lime zest, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolks and ¼ cup of lime juice.

Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.

Drop the dough by Tbsp onto the pans, leaving about 3 inches between cookies. Flatten each cookie to about 1/2-inch thick.

Sprinkle the top of each cookie with a pinch of flaky sea salt.

Bake 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned and the tops appear set.

Cool on the pans for 5 minutes. Then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
