This recipe for sugar cookies is so good! They are small, sweet, and crumbly. It only has four ingredients and it so simple. I love that you can make them any shape (although I stick with the circle). I found this recipe for a school project and have made it many times since, and they always turn out great!
I found this recipe in Tara’s Multicultural Table. here is the link:
Comida Cubana Cookbook Review and Torticas de Morón (Sugar Cookies with Lime Zest)
The only thing I changed about this recipe was I substituted shortening for butter.
Ingredients
3/4 cup semi-soft butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1-2 tsp lime zest
Preheat oven to 350℉. Using an electric mixer, beat together sugar and butter until smooth.
Slowly mix in the flour. Add in zest.
Roll out dough on a clean, floured surface to be about 1/2-1/4 inch thick. Cut out shapes and place
on a baking sheet lined with buttered parchment paper. Bake for 15-25 minutes. Enjoy!
