There’s nothing better than a soft, chewy cookie, am I right? And when the weather is warm and sunshine-y, citrus just feels so right. These lemon lime cookies really hit the spot. I made up a big batch of them for my family, and they’ve been eating them up ever since. I’ve been sending my kids to day camp with them in their lunchboxes, and I bet they’d be great for poolside snacking too.
The cookies are positively loaded with bright lemon and lime zest, and the simple icing on top is too, along with fresh lemon juice and lime juice. They really pack a pucker-y citrus punch! And they’re super simple to make. Just cream the butter and sugar together until very pale and fluffy, then mix in the egg. The extra yolk keeps these cookies soft and chewy. Then, in goes the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Scoop out the batter, bake, and top with glaze! You’ll love having a batch of these citrus-y cookies to nibble on!
