Ingredients:

Serving

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

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F. 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 using.
Bake until edges are brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool.
