Wednesday WOW Recipe + Crazy Bloggy Guest Baker

I’m soooo excited to introduce Sarah, my guest bloggy baker… a great friend of our family who has a crazy passion for orphans all over the world.  She makes up recipes in her dreams- I’m serious.  God gave her a passion for cooking & baking the most amazing treats I’ve ever tasted!

“This is one of my all-time favorite cookie recipes.  The taste reminds me of summertime.  It was one of the cookies that I made at Kamp Kauai for opening day.  I took a basic sugar cookie recipe and altered it and figure out a way not to have to refrigerate the dough and added my favorite ingredient, lime!  They taste so refreshing.  My next idea is to somehow add cherry to them!” (Sarah Yocum)

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon salt

1 cup butter or margarine

1 ½ cup white sugar

2 eggs

2 tablespoon lime zest

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1-2 tablespoons lime juice

Preheat oven to 375

Combine flour, baking soda and salt together in a small bowl.  Beat butter, sugar, eggs, lime zest and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.  Gradually beat in flour mixture.  Add lime juice, no more than 2 tablespoons.

Shape into 1 ounce balls and roll in sugar and place on pan.  After the dough is on the pan, sprinkle  more lime juice on top to taste.

Bake 9-12 minutes

Fresh Limeade

1 cups freshly squeezed lime juice

1 cups warms water

1 cups sugar

3 cups cold water

First mix warm water and sugar together until sugar is dissolved.  Add remaining ingredients.

*Lime can be substituted for lemon!
