Jalapeno Lime Shortbread Cookies
Jalapeño Lime Shortbread Cookies are the perfect blend of sweet, salty, and a little spice. The acidity of the lime perfectly balances the heat from the jalapeño, and the sweet glaze adds the perfect touch of sweetness. This recipe is a must-try for anyone who loves jalapeños, like me, and for those who want to try something new and different.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350F. In a stand mixer, combine the soft butter, lime juice, and sugar.

Place the dough onto a surface dusted with flour.
- Step 4
The dough will be a little crumbly but try to shape the dough into a log and tightly wrap it in plastic wrap.

Place the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Once the dough is chilled, cut the log into ½-inch slices and place the disks on the cookie sheet.
- Step 6
Cook in the oven for 14-16 minutes or until the bottoms get slightly golden.
- Step 7
In a small bowl mix the remaining confectioners' sugar and lime juice.
