Lime cookies (Philippe Conticini)

A very simple and quick recipe today, that of these delicious lime fondant shortbread according with a recipe by Philippe Conticini. It requires only a few minutes of preparation and baking, and these little biscuits will be perfect as an accompaniment to a fruit salad for a dessert or on their own for a snack ;-)

Prep time : 10 minutes + 15 minutes cooking
For about 10 sablés :

Ingredients :

120g softened butter

50g almond powder

50g icing sugar

2 pinches of fleur de sel

1 egg yolk

100g T45 flour

The zest of a lime

20g brown sugar

The zest of a lime

A bit of fleur de sel

Recipe :

Mix the softened butter, almond powder, icing sugar, fleur de sel and lime zest.

When the mixture is homogeneous, add the egg yolk and the flour and mix quickly.

Put the dough in a piping bag.

Place circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (I used circles of different sizes, between 5 and 8cm), then pipe some dough in the circles (they must be about 5mm thick).

Mix the brown sugar and lime zest, and spread the mixture over the shortbread. Sprinkle with a little fleur de sel.

Bake in the oven preheated to 160°C for about 15 minutes, to be adjusted according to your oven and the size of your shortbread.

Out of the oven, remove the circles and leave the shortbread to cool (this will allow them to harden as they cool) before enjoying !
