  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated.
  4. Mix in the lime zest and lime juice.
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. If you’re adding a hint of spice, mix in the ground ginger or cardamom.
  2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  1. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies should be soft and chewy.
  3. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lime juice, and lime zest until smooth.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies using a spoon or fork. Let the glaze set for about 15 minutes before serving.
