Lime Glazed Shortbread Cookies

Oh my, these cookies melt in your mouth. Delicious! Next time I might experiment with a different glaze and I also want to try using my cookie press to make some cute shapes.

Shortbread Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
1/4 cup corn starch
1 tsp vanilla
white sugar, for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar, then add the other ingredients, except the white sugar, and mix well. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheet. Flatten each ball to 1/4 inch thick and sprinkle with white sugar. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool completely.

Lime Glaze

1/2 cup powdered sugar
4 tsp fresh lime juice

In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and lime juice. Mix well. Brush glaze over cooled cookies and let set for 30 minutes or until glaze has hardened.
