Key Lime Iced Wafers

Baking time 15 minutes
Preparation time 20 minutes
Pre heat oven to 375 degrees F
Serves 2-4 Cookie Monsters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
·                  Parchment paper lined cookie sheets
·                  One mixing bowl, large
·                  Pastry or icing brush
·                  Measuring spoons, cups
·                  Hand held mixer
·                  Large spoon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.               ½ cup Unsalted sweet butter
2.               1-1/3 Cup, pure cane granulated sugar
3.               3 eggs
4.               3 Tablespoons lime juice, may use lemon juice if desired
5.               2 cups all purpose flour
6.               ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Begin by starting your oven to preheat at 375 degrees.


Using large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar. You want to use the mixer for beating these together very well till it resembles very course meal. If your butter is soft, it will be smooth with granulated sugar well mixed in.




Crack the eggs carefully into the bowl...



….and go ahead and mix well. 




It should start to get fluffy…



….and it will look like it has increased in volume…cause it has!



Now add the vanilla and ….



…..add the lime juice and mix well.



Ahh....this smells so wonderful! Like back to the islands!!




Add the flour and salt all together. Start your mixer slowly and increase the speed slowly after you know the flour won’t fly out of your bowl…if you don’t start slow, your gonna have a job cleaning up after cookies and who wants to do that when cookies are ready to eat out of the oven!

The batter should resemble pancake batter, thin.

Spoon carefully onto the parchement paper lined cookie sheet.

Place spaced apart as these will rise and spread as a wafer.

Place into preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.






Remove from oven and slide cookies and parchment paper directly onto your counter to cool.


Ice made with 1/2 cup powder sugar and 
mix with enough lime juice 
to make a thin icing 
and brush like a paint brush 
on top of the wafers.
Love 'em!!
