Steps:
- In a large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and 1/3 cup of the powdered sugar on medium-high speed until light and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla and mix again, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, and salt, mixing until combined. At first it might not seem like the dough will come together, but let it keep mixing and it will form into a nice dough, about the consistency of play-dough.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces and roll each half into a 1 1/4-inch diameter log (about 9-inches long each). Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour to chill.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unwrap the two logs of dough and slice into 1/4-inch discs using a sharp knife. Place the disks on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake for 13-14 minutes until barely golden around the edges.
- Cool for 8-10 minutes, then transfer half of the cookies to a large ziploc bag along with the reserved 2/3 cup of powdered sugar. Toss gently to coat each cookie with powdered sugar, then remove the cookies to a plate and repeat with the remaining cookies. A few of the cookies will probably break while being tossed with the powdered sugar, but they still taste good!
- Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 weeks. Supposedly they taste even better after a week or two since the lime flavor comes through stronger, but I haven't been able to keep any around that long!

I love lime and these are tasty. For a triple lime zap mix confectioners sugar with more key lime juice and drizzle on the cooled bars before you dust with confectioners sugar.

KEY LIME MELTAWAY COOKIES

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325% and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium size mixing bowl add the cream cheese, butter, sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well, add 2 Tablespoons of the Lime Jello and approx 2 Tablespoons of the lime juice, be sure there is about 1 Tablespoon of lime juice left for the glaze, adjust as needed.
- 2. Mix 1 cup of the all purpose flour and the finely ground pecans together. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients well. If dough seems too sticky, add a small amount of the remaining 1/4 cup of all purpose flour. Meltaway cookie dough is rather stiff and holds a ball shape.
- 3. Once the dough has been mixed you will cover the bowl with a piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. The chilled dough is easier to scoop onto your baking pan.
- 4. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the dough to a flat even bottom and release from the scoop and place onto the baking sheet lined with parchment. These cookies do not spread while baking so they can be close together on the sheet. Place the pan into the preheated oven for 15 minutes. While the meltaways are baking mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 Tablespoon of lime juice, 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon of the lime jello for color, set aside. When the meltaway cookies are done remove from oven and immediately begin to gently roll them into a bowl with the remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar. Once the cookies are cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top as desired, note, if glaze is a little thick, add a drop or two of water at a time to make it thin enough to drizzle.

Another version of a most delicious cookie. Will be making tomorrow as part of a tryout platter. Found in The Seattle Times. Don't skip the one hour refrigeration otherwise they'll spread too much.

Steps:
- To make the dough. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the sugar and butter until creamy. Mix in the lime juice and zest.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- When ready to bake, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drop teaspoon size balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb to indent the tops of the cookies and create a "nest" for the frosting to sit inches Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until set. These cookies should not brown or spread, and will be quite fragile.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before frosting.
- To make the frosting, in a medium bowl use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese with the butter, scraping the bowl several times to ensure there are no lumps. Mix in the powdered sugar and key lime juice. Frost each cookie with a dollop of the frosting.
- Cookies can be stored for 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
