Lime cloud cookies
Sunday, November 7, 2010
I had a lime that desperately wanted to be grated and squeezed so I baked these cloud cookies recently. They are drop cookies with a very liquidy batter, and I chose the name "cloud cookies" because although the edges are a little crispy, the centre of the cookies are soft and pillowy. This is probably due to the eggs being beaten beforehand. Here is the recipe along with some photos:
- Lime cloud cookies
- 1 1/2 call-purpose flour
- 1/2 tspbaking powder
- 1/2 tspsalt
- 3eggs
- 1 1/4 cgranulated sugar
- 1 Tbsplime juice
- 1lime, grated
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Set flour mixture aside.
- Beat eggs until fluffy. Add sugar and beat. Mix in lime juice and rind. Fold flour mixture into batter and mix.
- Spoon onto a lined cookie sheet about 1/2" apart. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8 minutes.
This is after the flour mixture was added. It was very liquidy and had the consistency of white glue.
Then here it is on a cookie sheet:
And one more photo after baking... The cookies retain the same shape as its liquid pre-baked form and do not spread much.
I had originally hoped to pipe these cookies, but it clearly could not be done. One day when I try this recipe again (with a different flavour), I may try chilling the mixture before piping. Hopefully that will make a difference!
