Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 cup soft butter
  • 1/4 cup Moosehead Lager
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Zest of one lime

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375o F.

Stir together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

Cream together butter and sugar until smooth and lightened. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth. Blend in the zest of one large lime.

Gradually add the dry ingredients. The finished batter will be crumbly and dry.

Shape batter into balls approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, rolling them between your hands to finish. Place two inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. We used a parchment paper lined pan instead.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden around the edges. The finished product is flecked with lime zest and slightly chewy in the centre.

Enjoy!
