    List of Ingredients




    Dough

    12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
    2 tablespoons grated lime zest
    2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

    Glaze

    3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
    1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
    1 teaspoon grated lime zest

    Recipe



    To make the dough

    In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy - no more than 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the bowl if needed. Add lime zest, lime juice, and salt- beat until combined. Mix in the flour, beating just until combined.

    Shape dough into an 8-inch log on a piece of parchment paper. Flatten into a long rectangle with your hands to reach a size of 1 1/2" high by 2 1/2" wide. Working with the parchment papper, flatten each side to make an even surface. Refrigerate dough at least 1 hour to firm up.

    Preheat oven to 350

    Cut dough crosswise into 1/4" thick slices. Set raw cookies on parchment lined baking sheets. Bake until cookies are puffed and have a hint of golden color arond the edge - about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    For the lime glaze

    In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients until spreadable. Using back of a small spoon, spread about 1/2 teaspoon glaze on each cooled cookie.
