Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest

Instruction

  • In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add vanilla and lime zest and stir to combine. 
  • In a separate bowl, sift (or whisk) together flour and salt. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and mix until a dough forms. Dough may look crumbly, but will hold together when pinched between two fingers.
  • Shape into a long, round tube about 2 inches thick and wrap in wax paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. 
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 
  • Remove dough from refrigerator and unwrap. Using a sharp knife, slice dough into 1/4 inch slices and place on lined baking sheet. 
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies barely begin to brown around edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before removing from sheet to cool completely.
