Georgetown Lime Cookies (Broas) image

This cookie comes from British Guyana. The recipe is from "The Joy of Cookies" by Sharon Tyler Herbst. You can also add 1 cup of toasted almonds or grated coconut to the dough before rolling it into balls if you wan't something a little different. Prep time is a guess.

Time 43m

Yield 60 cookies, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1/3 cup granulated sugar, mixed with
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheit. Grease 3 to 4 large baking sheets.
  • In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon; set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar and lime zest until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in lime juice. Stir in flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time, blending well after each addition.
  • Place sugar-spice mixture in a small bowl. Roll rounded teaspoons of dough into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in sugar-spice mixture; arrange, 1 inch apart, on prepared baking sheets. Use a decorative cookie stamp or the bottom of a glass to flatten balls slightly.
  • Bake 13 to 16 minutes, or until deep golden brown on the bottom. Cool on racks. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
