Ingredients

2 Tbsp regular butter, softened
3/4 cup(s) powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp lime zest, finely minced
2 large egg(s)
1/3 cup(s) fresh lime juice
36 item(s) shortbread cookie(s) 5/8 in. square, commercially prepared (about 10 oz total)
3/4 cup(s) lite whipped topping

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light; add zest. Next, add one egg at a time, beating after each addition; add lime juice (mixture will be lumpy).

Pour mixture into a medium saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until lime mixture thickens like a pudding, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Spread a heaping teaspoon of lime curd onto each cookie. Before serving, top each with a teaspoon of whipped topping.

Yields 1 cookie per serving.
