Description
These cookies, combining a tart, sweet, kind-of-gooey lime filling with a buttery shortbread-like crust, will lift you out of the winter doldrums.
Ingredients
- FOR THE CRUST:
- 1 cup All-purpose Flour
- ¼ cups Packed Light Brown Sugar
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- 6 Tablespoons Well Chilled Unsalted Butter, Cut Into 1/2-inch Pieces
- ¼ cups Toasted Slivered Almonds
- _____
- FOR THE FILLING:
- ¾ cups Sugar
- 2 whole Eggs
- 3 Tablespoons Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
- 1 Tablespoon Lime Zest
- ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 3 Tablespoons (more Or Less) Powdered Sugar, For Dusting
Preparation
For the crust:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-inch baking pan with tin foil; butter the foil.
2. Mix together flour, brown sugar and salt. Add butter and nuts, and blend together (either with a food processor or your fingers) until a fine meal forms.
3. Press evenly into the bottom of the greased, foiled pan and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
For the filling:
1. Blend together sugar, eggs, lime juice, lime zest, baking powder and salt until smooth.
2. Pour the filling onto the hot crust and bake until the filling is slightly browned and just springy to the touch, about 20 minutes.
3. Cool completely. Lift foil from pan, peel off foil and cut into 16 squares. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with lime curls.

These are WONDERFUL! My dad used to make lemon squares on a weekly basis (his excuse was that he HAD to get the timing right so they were perfectly gooey without being runny). These reminded me of his squares so much (but even better in my mind because I love lime) and they came out with the perfect texture…I actually teared up thinking of how much my dad would have loved them. Thanks for a fabulous dessert to take to a tea party and a little walk down memory lane with my dad (who’s been gone for 6 years now).
