Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter softened 3/4 c.
  • 1 1/2 c. sugar divided
  • 1 egg
  • 2 c. flour
  • 1 1/2 t. baking powder
  • 1/2 t. baking soda
  • Zest of one lemon lime and orange

Instructions
 

  • On a piece of wax paper or a plate, finely zest the orange, lemon and lime.
  • Mix 2 t. of mixed zest with 1/2 c. sugar and set aside.
  • Combine butter and 1 c. sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix until creamy, about 2 min.
  • Add egg.
  • Add flour, baking powder and baking soda until well combined.
  • Slowly add remaining zest.
  • If your dough is dry, add 1 T. fresh lemon juice. Your dough should combine and form a ball. (I used 2 T. lemon juice.)
  • Form 1 in. balls and roll each one in sugar/zest mixture.
  • Slightly press each ball with the bottom of a glass to flatten just a bit.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10 - 11 min.
  • Cool.
