Mojito Cookies

1 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2 . Stage

Cream sugar, butter, and lime zest together in a medium mixing bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, fully incorporating 1 at a time. Mix in vanilla extract, mint extract, and rum extract.

3 . Stage

Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl. Mix into the egg mixture about 1/3 at a time, making sure flour is fully incorporated before adding the next batch.

4 . Stage

Let chill in a refrigerator to allow the lime zest to impart greater flavor into the batter, up to 1 hour. Remove and allow to return to room temperature, about 20 minutes.

5 . Stage

Spoon tablespoons of batter onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

6 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are light golden brown, about 10 minutes, turning halfway through baking time. Allow to cool on the cookie sheets.
