Lime Glazed Cookies Food

LIME-GLAZED COOKIES

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add lime zest and juice, and salt; beat until combined. Add flour; beat until just combined. Turn out the dough onto a large piece of parchment or waxed paper. Using your hands, shape dough into an 8-inch log; flatten into a rectangle (1 1/2 inches high and 2 1/2 inches wide). Fold paper over log; flatten sides against work surface. Freeze or refrigerate dough until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F, with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place about 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are puffed and barely golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Using the back of a spoon spread about 1 teaspoon Lime Glaze on each cookie. Unglazed cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days; they should be eaten the same day they are glazed.
• In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients until spreadable. Use immediately.

LIME AND CORNMEAL COOKIES WITH CITRUS GLAZE

Steps:

• For the cookies: Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a food processor, pulse together the butter, sugar, and lime zest until combined. Add the egg, lime juice, and vanilla. Process until smooth. Add the rice flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Process until the mixture forms a dough. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 20 seconds. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly flour a work surface. Cut the dough in half and roll out each piece into a 9-inch diameter circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut the dough into 10 circles and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough, knead together, and roll out to 1/4-inch thick. Cut out 2 additional rounds of dough and place on the baking sheet. Bake until light golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
• For the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lime zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the glaze onto each cookie leaving, a 1/4-inch border around the edge. Allow the glaze to harden for about 45 minutes before serving.

• Mix flour, lemon zest, and salt in a separate bowl. Pour over butter mixture; beat until combined.
• Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut into cookies. Arrange on the lined baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are set and bottoms are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow cookies to cool, about 10 minutes.
• While cookies are cooling, mix icing sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest together in a small bowl. Spread glaze over the cookies.
