Mojito Cookie Bites

Makes about 10-12 cookies.

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Add lime juice to milk and let curdle a few minutes.

Combine mint leaves, lime zest, sugar, and vegetable shortening in a processor, pulse a few times. Add curdled milk and process until smooth, with flecks of zest and mint leaves visible.

Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add processed mixture and blend with fork until mixture is evenly crumbly. Use hands to form a ball. At this point, you can refrigerate the dough for up to 24 hours.

Form dough into desired shapes on a floured surface. Roll out and cut into shapes with cookie cutters, form small round bite-size cookies, whatever you want. These cookies won’t spread much during baking.

Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until cooked through and golden on the edges.
