We recently had an unprecedented FOUR straight snowdays--and these were legitimate snowdays where the roads really were terrible and we were pretty much trapped in our house. I had to do something to entertain myself, so I spent a lot of time cooking and baking (and then eating, and eating some more!). These were one of my snowday treats and I think they're perfect because they even kind of look "snowy"!
12 tablespoons ( 1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup powdered sugar
zest of 2 limes
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons corn starch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup powdered sugar
Cream the butter with the powdered sugar. Beat in the lime zest, lime juice and vanilla. Mix the flour, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl. Beat the dry ingredients into the wet (it took a while for this to really start to resemble dough). Roll the dough out into a 1 1/4 inch log. Wrap in plastic and let chill in the fridge for at least an hour. Preheat the oven to 350. Slice the dough into 1/4 inch thick slices and place them onto a baking sheet, 1 inch apart from each other. Bake until just lightly golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 4 minutes. Dredge the cookies in powdered sugar to coat.
