Divide dough in half and shape each half into 10 inch logs.
Wrap them in cling wrap and chill for at least 2 hours.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350° and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Remove dough from fridge and cut into 1/4" slices with a sharp knife.
Bake for 9-10 minutes until cookies are set and edges just start to brown.
Cool on a wire rack completely before glazing.
For glaze:
Combine powdered sugar, lime zest and lime juice in a medium bowl and stir until smooth.
Spoon a teaspoon of glaze on each cookie and gently spread around until cookie is coated.
Let glaze set, approx 30 minutes.
