Instructions
- Combine the wet and dry: In a mixer, cream the butter and ⅓ cup of the icing sugar until fluffy. Add the lime zest, lime juice, vanilla and beat until fluffy. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch and salt then add to the butter mixture and beat on low speed until combined.
- Roll dough into two 2 inch diameter logs and cover with wrap and chill for at least an hour. Heat oven to 350℉. Slice the dough into 1/8 inch thick rounds. Place cookies on baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
- Bake cookies until golden, about 15 minutes then cool on a wire rack.
- Finish the cookies: Place remaining ⅔ cup powdered sugar in a resealable plastic bag. While still warm place the cookies in the sugar-filled bag, and toss to coat.

Notes
- Storage: You can store them in an air tight container at room temperature for about 3 days, if they’ll last that long. If you notice that the powdered sugar on them melts into the cookie, don’t worry. Just sprinkle them with more, or simply roll them through a bit more powdered sugar. Nobody will notice or mind!
- Freezing: You can store these in an airtight container for up to 3 months in the freezer!
