Lemon Basil and Lime Cookies

Lemon Basil and Lime Cookies

Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp. lime zest
3 tbsp. chopped fresh lemon basil

Instructions

Wash and dry the basil leaves. Finely chop them and set them aside. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, and also set them aside.

Using a standing mixer, beat together the remaining ingredients (butter through basil) until all of the ingredients are fully incorporated. Beat in the flour mixture until a firm dough forms. Turn dough out onto plastic wrap and form into a log shape. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, or overnight.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove dough from refrigerator and slice. Place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cookies begin to lightly brown at the edges.
Remove cookies from oven and cool on a wire rack.

Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
