Lime Melt-aways

Good morning!
I have a light, yet tart & super sweet recipe for you to try out!
This cookies are very easy and something different to take to that party, shower or potluck. Please feel free to leave comments or email me with any questions :)

Lime Meltaways

3/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup of powered sugar
zest of 3 limes
3 Tablespoons lime juice (fresh squeezed from the 3 limes above)
4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Cream butter and sugar together until fluffy. Then add juice, zest and extract,
2. Sift dry ingredients together and then add to butter mixture.
3. Divide dough in two. Roll each piece of dough into logs just over about a inch in diameter.
4. Refrigerate dough until firm about 1 hour.
5. Slice cookie dough about 1/4 inch thick and place on a cookie sheet.
6. Bake in a 350 degree oven about 12 minutes just until barely golden brown.
7. Let cookies cool about 5 to 10 minutes and then gently completely cover each cookie with powdered sugar.
8. Enjoy!!!!
