Citrus in the Summertime...


As you can probably tell, I love using citrus in the summer. Limes, lemons, and oranges seen to find their way into almost everything I bake. Somehow, a little tart zing seems to uplift all the other ingredients in a recipe, and the aroma of a freshly zested lime is incredible. This week, I have been searching for the perfect lime cookie. I chose to use key limes, which have a much more balanced flavor than traditional limes, and the zest seems to be more intensely flavored. I chose a sugar cookie formula that is very decadent yet light, and I will infuse the dough with lots of key lime zest and juice. Pictures to come, check back later in the week!
