Coconut Lime Sugar Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• ¾ cup vegetable oil
• 1¼ cup sugar plus ⅓ cup sugar to roll cookies in
• ¾ cup powdered sugar
• 2 Tablespoons lime juice
• 2 eggs
• 5 cups flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
• ¾ teaspoon salt

FROSTING

• ½ cup butter
• 1 cup sour cream
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoon coconut extract
• 1½ teaspoons lime juice
• 5½ cups powdered sugar
• Sliced limes for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
3. In a large mixing bowl cream together butter, sugar and powdered sugar.
4. Add lime juice and eggs and beat again.
5. Add flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt and mix until it comes together. Do not over mix.
6. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and then roll them in the ⅓ cup of reserved sugar and place onto the cookie sheets. (9 balls per sheet.)
7. Spray a glass drinking glass with vegetable spray and then dip it into the sugar.
8. 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.)
9. 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

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