Lemon and lime shortbread cookies

Preparation time: 10-15 minutes

Cooking time: 10-15 minutes

A chewy but soft cookie filled with the zest of lemons and limes.


Ingredients:
125g Butter
180g Plain flour
65g caster sugar
Zest of whole lemon
Zest of whole lime

Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 150°C/Gas mark 2 and line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper. Cream together your butter and sugar until light and fluffy. With a grater carefully zest your lemon and lime on the smallest setting but try not to grate the skin underneath the zest as then you will get a bitter taste to your cookies. When you have grated your lemon and lime place the zests on a chopping board and dice until very fine. Add to your mixture and stir in.

2. Add in your flour and use your hands to bring the mixture together to form a dough. Shape the dough into a thick roll and cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight. Remove from the fridge and get rid of the clingfilm. With a knife, keeping the dough in a roll, slice the dough in circles by cutting it from the edge of the dough. You want these circles to be about 1-2cm thick.

3. Place the shortbreads on your greased and lined baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. When cooked remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to completely cool.
