I love lime...and lemon, this works equally well with lemon. I especially like making them in the winter time. They are like little buttery citrus cookies.
Cookie Dough
2 cups butter
1 cup powdered sugar
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 c cornstarch
2 T lime zest (i use the small holes of a cheese grater, only get the colored stuff if you get too deep into the white it starts to get bitter)
sugar
Lime Glaze
1 c powdered sugar
2 T lime juice
Beat everything up together. Shape dough into 3/4 in balls, place 2" apart on the cookie sheet. Press bottom of glass into dough then dip into sugar, press balls to 1/4" thick.
Bake 10 minutes at 325'F
cool completely (30 minutes)
Mix together powdered sugar and lime juice into a not too smooth glaze. spread glaze over cookies. Allow the glaze to firm up and you can stack the cookies together.
Makes 6 dozen cookies.
