Iced Lime Shortbread Cookies

Not the healthiest but sure is the tastiest. I saw this recipe on Pinterest and just had to try it. Besides Key Lime Pie I've never made a dessert with lime in it. These coolies are a fam favorite!!


This recipe is from The Toasty Kitchen link and recipe below:


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature

  • 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp lime zest

  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

  • 1/4 tsp salt

Lime Icing Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 tbsp lime juice

  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar

  • 1 tsp lime zest

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add in vanilla and lime zest and stir.

  3. Add in flour and salt to butter mixture and mix until a dough forms. Dough may look crumbly, but will hold together when pinched.

  4. Roll dough into balls and flatten with palm.

  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies barely begin to brown around the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before adding icing on top.

Lime Icing Instructions:

  1. While cookies are cooling, combine confectioner's sugar, lime juice, and lime zest. If too thick, add more lime juice 1 tsp at a time.

  2. Once cookies are cooled, ice cookies with a knife and set onto a cooling rack until set.
