Lime Sugar Cookies

2 C Sugar
2 1/2 C Flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
14 TBSP Butter (1 3/4 sticks) softened
2 tsp. vanilla
2 large eggs
3 tsp. lime zest(I use the zest of 3 limes as I prefer more lime)
Preheat oven to 350.
In food processor combine 1 tsp. lime zest and 1/2 cup sugar. Process for 30 seconds until fragrant and set aside.
Beat butter and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar together for 3-6 minutes until it's light and fluffy. Add the eggs, rest of lime zest, and vanilla, and beat until combined.
Sift together flour, soda and salt. Slowly add to wet mixture until combined.
Shape dough into 2 TBSP balls and roll in the lime sugar you've set aside. Flatten the dough with a drinking glass dipped in the lime sugar, just until they look like the shape of babybel cheese (like 1/2 inch tall?) Use any extra lime sugar to sprinkle on top. Bake for 10-12 minutes and LEAVE them on the cookie sheet to cool for 10 more minutes. Enjoy!
