Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add the vanilla, salt, and lime zest. Then add the flour and baking powder and mix only until a rough dough forms. Do not over-mix.
Add the lime juice and mix until a smooth dough comes together. Again, do not over-mix.
Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Please on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Cookies are done when bottom are slightly browned. Cookies will be fragile.
To finish, mix 1/2 cup confectioners sugar with the 2 tsp of lime zest in a shallow bowl. While cookies are still warm, gently roll them, one at a time in the sugar/lime mixture. After all cookies are coated, finish by sprinkling an remaining sugar/lime mixture over tops.
Stored cooled cookies in an airtight container. They also freeze really well in freezer bags.
