Mojito Cookies Recipe

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.
