Key limes give these melt-in-your-mouth cookies special appeal, but other types of limes yield good results, too.

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups  (425 mL)  all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  baking powder
1/4 tsp  (1 mL)  baking soda
3/4 cups  (175 mL)  butter, softened
1/2 cup  (125 mL)  icing sugar
1 egg yolk
1-1/2 tsp  (7 mL)  grated Key lime rind
4 tsp  (20 mL)  Key lime juice
Sugar Coating:
1/4 cup  (60 mL)  granulated sugar
1 grated rind Key lime (scan 1/2 tsp/2 mL)

Preparation

Sugar Coating: In small bowl of food processor, whirl sugar and lime rind until sugar is fine. Transfer to bowl; cover and let stand for at least 2 hours or overnight. (If sugar clumps, break up into powder.)

Whisk together flour, baking powder and baking soda; set aside. Beat butter and icing sugar until light and fluffy; beat in yolk, lime rind and juice. Gradually stir in flour mixture.

Transfer dough to pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch/ 1 cm star tip (or plastic bag with corner cut out). Pipe out 1-1/2-inch/4 cm long cookies onto parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Bake in 300F/150C oven until edges and ridges are just starting to turn golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Roll in lime sugar while still warm; let cool on rack.

Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
