May brings a month full of change in southeast Iowa. The Farm becomes a changing kaleidoscope of colors and vegetation. The garden is growing, flowers are blooming, and the earth is finally awakening. All the change means I also love to change my baking routine. These cookies are fresh, simple, quick, and so delicious. With a little lime and a whole lot of buttery sweetness, say hello to spring!
Enjoy these with a cool dish of ice cream or sorbet, or just eat them alone; they need no company. Simple and fresh, these cookies are perfect!

- juice of 1 lime
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Add flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix until no dry flour bits are left and all ingredients are completely incorporated.16 tbsp (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 2 cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, zest of 1 lime, juice of 1 lime, 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tsp kosher salt
- Using hands, shape dough into two logs, approximately 2-3 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap or parchment and place them in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
- Once chilled, unwrap and cut logs to form cookies, about ¼-inch thick. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. If desired, sprinkle tops with sanding sugar for a sweet crunch.
- Place in a preheated 375°F oven for 7-10 minutes. The cookies will not brown but may turn slightly golden.
- Once baked, cool on the pan for a few minutes then finish cooling on a rack.
