This cookie reminds me of the Lemon Coolers cookies I ate as a kid. Rich and buttery with bright citrus flavor. This simple cookie is delicious and well worth making. #shorts #glutenfree #recipe #cookie #lime #food #trending #wheatfree #celiacfriendly
Gluten-Free Lime Meltaways
Adapted from the recipe by Martha Stewart.
Dry Ingredients
1 3/4 cups plus 4Tablespoons Cup4Cup Multipurpose flour
1 teaspoon sweet rice flour
1/4 Teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
3/4 cup minus 1 Tablespoon softened butter
1 cup confectioners sugar
3 Tablespoons lime juice
The zest of two limes
Whisk the dry ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. Cream the butter and sugar in a medium-sized bowl until light and fluffy. Add lime juice and zest and mix thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gather into two balls and roll into logs about 1.5 inches in diameter on pieces of parchment. Chill for at least one hour or freeze if you want to bake them later.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Sliced the chilled logs into coin shapes about 1/8 inch thick and bake on parchment paper cut side down and one inch apart. Bake for about 12-14 minutes or until coins are barely browned but firm in the middle. Cool on a rack for 8 minutes and then roll or shake in powdered sugar while still warm. Return to rack to cool fully. I like to stack my cooled cookies in muffin cups which seems to keep them from breaking and is a much easier way to store them.
