Servings: persons

3/4 cup regular salted butter at room temp.
1.5 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cream or milk
1/2 teaspoon good vanilla
1 egg
1 egg yolk (optional - reserve white)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 dash table salt
3 cups flour (I prefer King Arthur and think it makes a difference.)
extra granulated sugar
1 pinch finely grated lime rind - only the green part

1
Beat sugar, egg, egg yolk, milk and vanilla into the soft butter thoroughly.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and grated lime.
3
Blend the two mixtures together and mix well (I just use a table fork).
4
Drop from the tip of a spoon about 1 inch apart on lightly buttered cookie sheet.
5
If you'd like -- dip a fork in the optional egg white, lightly whisked, and slightly flatten each cookie.
6
Lightly sprinkle each cookie with the extra granulated sugar (the egg white makes it stick better).
7
Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 6-8 minutes, until lightly browned at the edges.
8
Let cool a little bit on a wire rack, or brown paper, and enjoy!
