Ingredients

The following ingredients have 36 Servings
  • 3/4 cups butter (unsalted, at room temperature)
  • 1 cup icing sugar (same as powdered sugar or confectioners sugar)
  • zest of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon cornstarch

Instruction

  • Combine the wet and dry: In a mixer, cream the butter and 1/3 cup of the icing sugar until fluffy. Add the lime zest, lime juice, vanilla and beat until fluffy. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch and salt then add to the butter mixture and beat on low speed until combined.
  • Roll dough into two 2 inch diameter logs and cover with wrap and chill for at least an hour. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Slice the dough into 1/8 inch thick rounds. Place cookies on baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
  • Bake cookies until golden, about 15 minutes then cool on a wire rack.
  • Finish the cookies: Place remaining 2/3 cup powdered sugar in a resealable plastic bag. While still warm place the cookies in the sugar-filled bag, and toss to coat.
