Recipe Introduction
This are truly amazing cookies. The recipe just called for regular lime juice and I used key lime juice. I made them in a flower shape in a cooky press. They were very pretty, but I think that the ribbon disk that she suggests would be easier! She says, "These sweet tangy lime cookies really melt in your mouth."
List of Ingredients
COOKIES:
1 c. butter, softened
� c. confectioners� sugar
1 � c. AP flour
� c. cornstarch
1 T. grated lime peel
� t. vanilla
GLAZE:
� c. confectioners� sugar
4 t. Key lime juice
� t. grated lime peel
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and confectioners� sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in flour and cornstarch. Stir in lime peel and vanilla.
Using a cooky press fitted with a ribbon disk, press dough into 12� long strips 2� apart on ungreased baking sheets (I used parchment paper). Cut each strip into 3� pieces (do not separate pieces). Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.
Combine glaze ingredients; brush over cooked cookies. Let stand until set.
Yield: about 3 dozen.
