Time 50m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lime peel
1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 cup powdered sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons lime juice

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed 2 to 3 minutes or until light and creamy. Add flour, lime peel and orange peel. Beat on low speed until mixture is blended. Gather dough into a ball.
  • On lightly floured surface, roll dough into 8x6-inch rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick. (If dough cracks around edges, press edges to smooth.) Cut into 12 (2-inch) squares, then cut each square diagonally in half into triangles. On ungreased cookie sheet, place triangles 1/2 inch apart.
  • Bake 12 to 17 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and lime juice with spoon until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over cookies.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar. However, they were still very good and I enjoyed the citrus flavor. I would make them again, but I would reduce the amount of sugar.

These cookies were very good, but I found them to be a bit too crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough. Next time, I'll be careful to mix it just until it comes together.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with more butter or oil. However, the citrus flavor was very good. I would make them again, but I would adjust the recipe to make them more moist.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The citrus flavor was subtle but present. I would definitely make these cookies again.
