Ingredients

36 servings

•

1 ½ cups white sugar
•

1 cup butter
•

3 limes, zested
•

2 eggs
•

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

•

1 teaspoon mint extract
•

1 teaspoon rum extract, or more to taste
•

2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
•

1 tablespoon baking powder
•

1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Cream sugar, butter, and lime zest together in a medium mixing bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, fully incorporating 1 at a time. Mix in vanilla extract, mint extract, and rum extract.
Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Mix into the egg mixture about 1/3 at a time, making sure flour is fully incorporated before adding the next batch.
Let chill in a refrigerator to allow the lime zest to impart greater flavor into the batter, up to 1 hour. Remove and allow to return to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
Spoon tablespoons of batter onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light golden brown, about 10 minutes, turning halfway through baking time. Allow to cool on the cookie sheets.
