I’m soooo excited to introduce Sarah, my guest bloggy baker… a great friend of our family who has a crazy passion for orphans all over the world. She makes up recipes in her dreams- I’m serious. God gave her a passion for cooking & baking the most amazing treats I’ve ever tasted!
“This is one of my all-time favorite cookie recipes. The taste reminds me of summertime. It was one of the cookies that I made at Kamp Kauai for opening day. I took a basic sugar cookie recipe and altered it and figure out a way not to have to refrigerate the dough and added my favorite ingredient, lime! They taste so refreshing. My next idea is to somehow add cherry to them!” (Sarah Yocum)
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
1 cup butter or margarine
1 ½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoon lime zest
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons lime juice
Preheat oven to 375
Combine flour, baking soda and salt together in a small bowl. Beat butter, sugar, eggs, lime zest and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Add lime juice, no more than 2 tablespoons.
Shape into 1 ounce balls and roll in sugar and place on pan. After the dough is on the pan, sprinkle more lime juice on top to taste.
Bake 9-12 minutes
Fresh Limeade
1 cups freshly squeezed lime juice
1 cups warms water
1 cups sugar
3 cups cold water
First mix warm water and sugar together until sugar is dissolved. Add remaining ingredients.
*Lime can be substituted for lemon!
