- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large eggs
- 6 teaspoons lime zest freshly grated, divided
- 2 1/2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
- 2 1/2 cups flour, all-purpose
- 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 x turbinado sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 1/4 cups vanilla ice cream low-fat and softened
- 1 3/4 cups sorbet lime, softened
- Add the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat at medium speed for 4 to 6 minutes, until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, 1 tablespoon lime rind, and lime juice for 2 to 3 minutes until well blended.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and 1 pinch of salt until well mixed.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, and beat until just incorporated.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a 6-inch log.
- Wrap the logs individually in plastic wrap, refrigerate for 3 hours or until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Cut each log into 16 (about 13 inch-thick) slices, and place 1 inch apart on the baking sheets lined with parchment paper or coated with cooking spray.
- Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons lime rind, turbinado sugar and sea salt evenly on top of the cookies.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes on the pans on a wire rack.
- Remove from the baking sheets onto the wire rack, and let cool completely.
- Add the vanilla ice cream and sherbet in a medium bowl, lightly swirl together.
- Arrange 1/4 cup ice cream mixture onto the bottom of one cookie, and place another cookie on top to make a sandwich.
- Cover each sandwich with a small piece of plastic wrap to hold the shape.
- Freeze at least 3 hours or until firm.
- Serve and enjoy!
