Time 35m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon lime zest
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
coarse sugar
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons green decorator sugar (I used regular sugar)
3 tablespoons lime juice

Steps:

  • Beat butter, sugar, and confectioners' sugar until fluffy.
  • Beat in egg yolks, vanilla, and lime zest. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt and stir into the butter mixture.
  • Chill 30 minutes (I skipped this step). Roll tablespoonfuls into balls and flatten and sprinkle with coarse sugar and bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Whisk confectioners' sugar, green decorating sugar, and lime juice and spread over cooled cookies.
