Basil Lime Sugar Cookies

This is another recipe for kitchen magic. Basil is super helpful with just about anything- protection, health, joy etc. Mixed with lime I would say these cookies are good for a pick me up and can be charged to be a mood booster.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of butter (softened)

1 1/2 tsp lime juice (to taste tbh)

1 1/4 cup of granulated sugar

1 3/4 cup of all purpose flour

1 egg

3/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 tsp vanilla extract

Fresh finely chopped basil (I used like 10 leaves)

1/2 tsp salt

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375°F

Beat together butter and sugar until combined

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt

To the butter/sugar mixture add egg, lime juice, vanilla extract, basil and salt. Mix

Slowly add dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until combined. Dough should not be sticky to the touch

Line cookie sheets with parchment paper

My cookies did not spread out too much so you can place them relatively close on the tray. Just roll into a ball and place them wherever (May differ for yours so calculate your own risks)

Bake for 15-17 minutes until slight golden color at the bottoms. The cookie itself should stay pretty light so look for cracks along the top.

Let cookies rest on baking tray for two minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Additional Notes:

With any kind of kitchen magic it is what you make it. I charged all of my ingredients before baking and while mixing thought of the intentions I wanted behind them. They were quite literally made with love.

Merry Yuletide Loves!
