When my mother-in-law sent me a box of freshly picked organic key limes from her tree in AZ I knew exactly what to do with them!
If you are a tea drinker or a bitter tea lover (which I am) you should definitely try these cookies with your next cup of tea! They are a little sweet with a touch of bitter and have a great texture from the ground almonds.

Signing UpStep 1Make the Dough
Bitter Key Lime Wheel Cookies
10 T. butter, softened
1 T. key lime zest
1 egg
¾ c. confectioners’ sugar, extra for dusting
½ c. sugar, extra for sprinkling
¼ c. brown sugar
2 c. flour
1 c. almonds, finely ground
1 T. fresh squeezed key lime juice
6 key limes - give or take depending on size and juiciness.
Finely grind almonds in a food processor until they resemble coarse sand.
Using a microplane zest enough key limes to get 1 tablespoon. Cut those same limes to get 1 tablespoon of juice.
In a large mixing bowl beat butter, zest and egg until incorporated. Mixture will look lumpy. Add sugars and mix. Add flour and mix well, then add almonds. Once dough is well-combined form it into two logs and wrap with parchment paper. Place in the freezer until hard, approximately 1 ½ hours.
