Lime flavored sugar coated bite sized cookies Ingredients:
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 grated limes, zest of |
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice |
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract |
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons cornstarch |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, cream butter and 1/3 cup sugar until fluffy. Add lime zest, juice, and vanilla; beat until fluffy.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt. Add to butter mixture, and beat on low speed until combined.
3. Between two 8-by-12-inch pieces of parchment paper, roll dough into two 1 1/4-inch-diameter logs. Chill at least 1 hour.
4. Heat oven to 350°F Line two baking sheets with parchment. Place remaining 2/3 cup sugar in a resealable plastic bag. Remove parchment from logs; slice dough into 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Place rounds on baking sheets, spaced 1 inch apart.
5. Bake cookies until barely golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. While still warm, place cookies in the sugar-filled bag; toss to coat. Bake or freeze remaining dough. Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
