Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • In the large bowl using a stand or hand mixer mixer, cream the butter and sugar on high speed.
  • Add egg, tequila, lime juice, orange liquor and lime zest and beat until combined.
  • Continue on low speed and add the flour slowly until just combined.
  • Portion out rolled balls of dough using a medium cookie scoop onto prepared cookie sheets about 2 inches apart.
