Preheat your oven to 350° F.

Prepare 2 large baking trays, by covering with a piece of parchment paper each or a silicone mat each.

In a deeper mixing bowl, place, butter, sugar, and egg.

Cream them together well.

Next, it's time to add 3/4 of the pouch of lime gelatin.

Combine with the other ingredients and pour the 1/4 bag of the mixture into a rimmed shallow bowl or cup and set aside.

Add in the fresh lime zest and mix well.

If the green is NOT enough, then add a few drops of GREEN Food coloring. However, if it's fine, just move to the next step.

Now place, baking soda, baking powder, and 2 1/2 C of flour (reserve 1/2 c).

Once mixed, see how 'sticky' your dough is.

If it is too sticky, you will want to add more flour, but not more than 1/2 a cup.

Rather than tossing in the full 1/2 C place it in 1/4 C at a time and see if the dough firms up just a bit.

Roll the ball into a large ball in the well of the bowl.

Next, you will use a cookie scoop and grab a ball at a time, and then place the ball into the reserve lime gelatin.

Remove from the gelatin-dip onto the tray and flatten. (please note, I used the bottom of a drinking glass and I coated it LIGHTLY with flour so it did not stick).

You are not SMASHING the cookie flat, just not leaving it in a large ball.

Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes depending on your oven.

Don't let them brown or they have baked too long.

Remove from oven, and allow the tray to cool about 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

Serve and enjoy! ~ Dana XO
