Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus more for pressing cookies)
1/2 cup butter, chilled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 tbsp basil, fresh chopped
1 tsp lemon zest, finely grated
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp lime zest, finely grated
1/4 tsp kosher salt
sanding sugar (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°.
Place flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, butter, basil, both zests, lemon juice, and salt in a food processor.
Pulse until large, moist clumps form.
Measure level tablespoonfuls of dough; roll between your palms to form balls.
Place on a large baking sheet, spacing 2 apart.
Lightly dust the bottom of a flat measuring cup with powdered sugar and press cookies into 2 rounds, dusting cup bottom with powdered sugar as needed to prevent sticking.
Sprinkle tops of cookies with sanding sugar if you want them sweet.
Bake until edges are brown, about 10-12 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack; let cool.
