Lime Pistachio Thumbprint Cookies

Lime Pistachio Thumbprint Cookies are a delicious and unique dessert that will impress your guests. These cookies are made with a combination of tangy lime and crunchy pistachios, creating a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients (makes 24 cookies):

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime zest
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup finely chopped pistachios
- 1/2 cup lime curd

To make these Lime Pistachio Thumbprint Cookies, start by preheating your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and lime zest until light and fluffy. Add in the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the chopped pistachios. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then use your thumb to make an indentation in the center of each cookie. Fill each indentation with a small spoonful of lime curd.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These Lime Pistachio Thumbprint Cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and tangy, with a crunchy texture from the pistachios. They make a great dessert for any occasion, and are sure to impress your guests.
