Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pouch Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix
1 tablespoon slightly packed grated fresh lime peel
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon coarse (kosher or sea) salt

Steps:

  • In large bowl, stir together cookie mix and lime peel until blended. Add butter, egg and lime juice. Beat with electric mixer on medium-low speed until blended and soft dough forms.
  • On 17-inch piece plastic wrap, shape dough into 12-inch log. Wrap tightly; freeze at least 30 minutes or until firm enough to slice.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Unwrap dough; cut into 1/4-inch slices. Onto ungreased cookie sheets, place slices 2 inches apart, reshaping if necessary; lightly sprinkle with salt.
  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until pale brown on bottom. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely before storing in airtight container. If desired, garnish cookies with freshly grated lime peel just before serving.
