- Yield Makes: 32
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons grated lime zest, (2 medium limes)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
For the Glaze
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 5 teaspoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
Directions
-
With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars until light, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add lime zest, lime juice, and salt; beat until combined. Add flour; beat until dough is just combined.
-
Place dough on a 16-by-12-inch piece of parchment or wax paper. Using your hands, shape into an 8-inch log; flatten into a rectangle (1 1/2 inches high and 2 1/2 inches wide). Fold paper over log; flatten sides against work surface. Refrigerate dough until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Slice dough crosswise 1/4 inch thick; place on sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are puffed and barely golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool; glaze.

To make 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.
The BEST if you like lime!!!! I made a powdered sugar, melted butter and a touch of milk for my glaze and they were incredible!!
EASY RECIPE AND SOUNDS DELICIOUS!!! WILL TRY IT ASAP!!!! THANKS!!
The cookies were great, very easy to make. The glaze will definately make you pucker. Next time I will try to make them without the glaze.
I made a platter of these along with a batch of Martha's Lemon Cornmeal (check the recipe finder: it's there) cookies, and served to a large summer crowd after a dinner. GREAT together, both easy, and both sweet/tart for a dessert adults and kids both loved.
These cookies are great! I added some fresh mint to the glaze and called them Mojito cookies. They really aren't that difficult to make either
I made these cookies today, and I agree with vinesal. They are really good summer cookies. I didn't have lime today, so I used a lemon instead.
Everybody loved these cookies. They go well with any tea.
not too sweet, and actually children didn't love them, but they were a big hit for LADIES.
These are terrific cookies! They were especially delicious during the summer! Many of my friends who don't like overly sweet cookies loved these!! Thank goodness I have a microplane zester--a must to make these!
