Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     dessert

Time 1h59m

Yield 12 to 14 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 large limes, zested
1 egg, at room temperature
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (2 to 3 large limes)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups rice flour, plus extra for dusting
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
2 large limes, zested
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • For the cookies: Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse together the butter, sugar, and lime zest until combined. Add the egg, lime juice, and vanilla. Process until smooth. Add the rice flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Process until the mixture forms a dough. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 20 seconds. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly flour a work surface. Cut the dough in half and roll out each piece into a 9-inch diameter circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut the dough into 10 circles and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough, knead together, and roll out to 1/4-inch thick. Cut out 2 additional rounds of dough and place on the baking sheet. Bake until light golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • For the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lime zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the glaze onto each cookie leaving, a 1/4-inch border around the edge. Allow the glaze to harden for about 45 minutes before serving.

LIME-GLAZED COOKIES



Lime-Glazed Cookies image

To keep these cookies flaky and light, do not overmix the butter and sugars; they should be combined but not be too soft when you add the remaining ingredients.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes: 32

Number Of Ingredients 10

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
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
5 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime zest

Steps:

  • 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.

Lime-Glazed Cornmeal Cookies image

It might sound weird...but this cookie is really YUMMY! Once people try it, they love it! unless of course they are not Lime fans. :o) This cookie was inspired by a recipe I found in a Redbook Magazine.

Provided by Wendy Rusch @AmmaWendy

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup(s) butter, softened
1/2 cup(s) sugar
1/2 cup(s) brown sugar
1 - egg
2 tablespoon(s) lime zest
1/4 cup(s) lime juice
2 cup(s) flour
1 cup(s) white corn meal
GLAZE:
2 cup(s) powdered sugar
1/4 cup(s) lime juice
2 - drop green food coloring, if desired
1 - drop yellow food coloring, if desired

Steps:

  • Cookies: Beat butter and sugars in a large bowl on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in egg, lime zest and juice. On low speed, beat in flour and corn meal.
  • On lightly floured waxed paper, using lightly floured hands, shape dough into a 13" long log. Roll up in waxed paper and chill dough 30 minutes. Remove and square off log until it has four flat sides. Wrap log in the waxed paper and freeze for 1 hour or until firm enough to slice.
  • Heat oven to 350. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut log into 3/8" slices. Place them 1" apart on prepared sheets.
  • Bake 11 minutes (I had to bake 14 min) or until cookies begin to brown lightly. Cool completely.
  • Glaze: Whisk sugar and lime juice in a bowl until smooth. If glaze is too thick, thin it with drops of water until it's a spreadable consistency. Whisk in food coloring. Spread on cookies, immediately sprinkle with candy decorations. Let dry on racks until glaze hardens.

CORNMEAL LIME SHORTBREAD FANS



Cornmeal Lime Shortbread Fans image

Buttery and crisp, with an appealing texture from the cornmeal, these shortbread cookies are baked in a round tart or pie tin, then cut into wedges to resemble slim fans. The lime juice in the glaze cuts the sweetness and echoes the zest in the dough. (You can also use lemon, orange or grapefruit - or a combination instead of lime, if you prefer.) The cookies keep for up to two weeks when stored airtight at room temperature, and freeze very well.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 1 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 limes
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
2/3 cup/60 grams fine cornmeal
2/3 cup/130 grams granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup/225 grams cold, unsalted butter (2 sticks), cut into 1-inch chunks
1/2 cup/60 grams confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grate 1 teaspoon zest from the limes. (You can usually get 1 teaspoon from 1 lime, but you may need to grate some zest off the other.) Add to a food processor.
  • Add flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt and pulse once or twice to combine. Add butter and pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Pulse a few more times until some of the crumbs start to come together, but don't overprocess the dough. It should be somewhat crumbly and not form a ball. (Alternatively, you can mix this in a bowl using two knives, or use a pastry cutter to mix the butter into the flour.)
  • Press the dough into an even layer in an ungreased, fluted 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom or in a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Bake until golden brown, about 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Using a butter knife, cut the shortbread into 12 wedges while still warm.
  • Make the glaze: Halve the zested lime and squeeze 1 tablespoon juice into a small bowl. Whisk in confectioners' sugar and, if you like, more lime juice to taste. (More lime juice will make the glaze thinner and more tart, while less lime juice yields a thicker, sweeter glaze.) Drizzle glaze over the cooled shortbread, then zest the second lime over the icing before it sets. (Use a citrus zester, if you have one, or a regular zester, if you don't.)

LIME CORNMEAL BARS WITH BLUEBERRY GLAZE



Lime Cornmeal Bars with Blueberry Glaze image

The short crust base has a pleasant grittiness thanks to the addition of cornmeal, which loves to be partnered with lime. Serve these in a single layer, even right out of the pan, to preserve the shiny tops.

Categories     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Blueberry     Lime     Cornmeal     Cookies     Summer     Dessert     Small Plates

Yield Makes 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the crust:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
1/2 cup fine cornmeal
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated lime zest
4 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
For the blueberry glaze:
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Make the crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x13" baking pan and line with parchment paper, leaving a 1" overhang on both long sides.
  • Combine cornmeal, powdered sugar, salt, and 2 cups flour in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add 1 cup butter and beat until mixture resembles coarse meal and dough sticks together when you rub it with your fingers. Transfer dough to prepared pan and press into bottom and 1/2" up sides with your knuckles. Bake crust until golden, 18-20 minutes. Remove pan from oven and reduce oven temperature to 300°F.
  • While crust is baking, whisk granulated sugar, lime zest, and remaining 3 Tbsp. flour in a large bowl until combined. Add eggs and yolk and whisk until smooth. Whisk in lime juice and pour mixture onto hot crust (it's easiest to do this with pan on oven rack) and bake until topping is set, 25-30 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool.
  • Make the blueberry glaze:
  • Combine blueberries, granulated sugar, and 3 Tbsp. water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until blueberries have burst and sauce is slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly. Purée blueberry mixture in a blender until smooth and strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Let glaze cool.
  • Pour blueberry glaze over lime filling and spread to form an even, thin layer. Let cool completely, then chill until ready to serve. Lift bar out of pan using parchment overhang and cut into 24 squares.
  • Do Ahead
  • Bars can be stored in an airtight container and chilled for up to 3 days.

CORNMEAL LIME COOKIES



Cornmeal Lime Cookies image

A recipe adapted from a famous, anal retentive, control freak, home making guru (she irons her sheets for goodness sake) and as such, is overly complicated yet... yields delicious results. A different kind of cookie that offers a wonderful finish to a Mexican meal/dinner party.

Provided by BothFex

Categories     Dessert

Time 15m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
4 teaspoons lime zest (roughly 6 limes)
2 tablespoons lime juice (roughly 6 limes)
2 teaspoons orange zest (roughly 2 oranges)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup yeallow cornmeal, plus more for coating glass
3 1/4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
8 tablespoons lime juice
2 1/2 teaspoons lime zest

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar 3-4 minutes.
  • Add egg and beat until JUST combined.
  • Add zests, lime juice and extract.
  • Add flour and cornmeal and mix until well blended.
  • Cover with waxed paper or plastic wrap.
  • Form into a disc (why? Beats me) and chill, at least, 1 hour.
  • Roll heaping teaspoons of dough into balls and place on baking stones (or lined baking sheets) 3" apart.
  • Dip bottom of a medium drinking glass into a bowl filled with the cornmeal and flatten balls with the bottom of the glass until dough is 1/4" thick.
  • Bake cookies at 350 until golden brown around the edges, about 14-16 minutes.
  • When cookies cool pour lime glaze (mix ingredients together) over them.
  • Let glaze set.
  • Devour.

Tips:

  • To achieve a perfect glaze, whisk the confectioners' sugar and lime juice together until it reaches a smooth and thick consistency. If the glaze is too thin, add more confectioners' sugar; if it's too thick, add more lime juice.
  • For a burst of zesty flavor, use freshly squeezed lime juice in the glaze and cookie dough.
  • Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before glazing them. This will prevent the glaze from melting and running off the cookies.
  • Store the glazed cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Lime Cornmeal Glazed Cookies are a delightful treat that combines tangy lime flavor with a hint of cornmeal texture. The cookies are soft and chewy, with a crisp exterior and a sweet and tangy glaze. They're perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to special events. With their unique flavor and texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
