Total Time: 18 – 25 minutes
Preparation: 10 – 15 minutes
Bake Time: 8-10
Yields: 8
Ingredients:
- ½ cup All Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup Confectioners’ Sugar
- 2 tbsp. melted Unsalted Butter or Ghee (I used melted butter)
- 1 tbsp. Milk (if required)
- 1 ½ tsp. Lime Zest
- 1 tsp. Superfine Sugar
- 8 Pistachios sliced and broken into small pieces
Preparation:
- Mix together all-purpose flour, confectioners’ sugar, butter/ghee, milk and half the lime zest to make the dough.
- Lightly pound together superfine sugar and remaining lime zest to make a lime coated sugar.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F.
- Make 8-10 balls from the dough. I made 8 balls. Make round flat discs from each ball, pressing them in your palm. Press them with your fingers to flatten it as much as you can. Then place them a lined baking sheet and press them again to flatten them more. Thinner the cookie you make, crispier the cookies.
- Sprinkle lime coated sugar on the top of each cookie, followed by pistachios.
- Bake them for 8-10 minutes in the pre heated oven until the edges turn light brown. I baked them for 10 minutes. Remove them immediately from the baking sheet and let them cool completely on a cooling rack. I forgot to remove mine right away and some of my cookies continued to bake and were a little burnt. They were still edible and I finished all the cookies even before U got home from work!
- Once the cookies are cooled, store them in an air tight container.
Note:
- Oven temperatures vary from oven to oven. Check the cookies 6-7 minutes into baking.
- Cookies will continue to bake even after removing from the oven.
- Cookies might be soft when you remove the cookies from the oven, they might be soft but as they cool, they will get crispy.

I have seen this somewhere else too. But don't remember though. They look good. You could use lime juice instead of milk to get more limey (is that even a word?) cookies.
