2. Prepare the cookies. In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together. Add the egg and mix. Add finely grated lime and lemon zest and juice, as well as vanilla. Mix well. Add half of the flour mixture and stir gently, then add the remaining flour. If the dough is very sticky, add more flour as needed until it becomes slightly tacky. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. After the dough has chilled, preheat the oven to 175°C. Spoon the dough onto the baking sheet, using 1 tablespoon per cookie. Roll each ball in sugar topping.
