Ingredients 

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 5 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar for rolling

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons coconut extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 5 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • sliced limes for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl cream together butter, oil, sugar and powdered sugar.
  • Add lime juice and eggs and beat again.
  • Add flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt and mix until it comes together. Do not over mix.
  • Roll dough into 1 inch balls and then roll them in the 1/3 cup of reserved sugar and place onto the cookie sheets. (9 balls per sheet.)
  • Spray a glass drinking glass with vegetable spray and then dip it into the sugar.
  • Press the glass into each ball and twist to make a rough edge. (Don't go too deep, you still want a nice thick cookie.)
  • Bake for 8-9 minutes until cookie looks cooked but not brown. You want these to seem a little under-done for a soft cookie. Get it too crispy and it won't have the same delicious melt in your mouth effect.

Frosting

  • Mix all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat until creamy and smooth.
  • Frost each cookie and garnish with a lime wedge.
