ok, so this recipe came from m.s.'s website, but i didn't especially like how martha made them...so i made them my own way....
1 1/2 sticks butter at room temperature
1 cup confectioner's sugar
grated zest of 2 limes
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp vanilla (I prefer mexican)
1 3/4 cup flour
4 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
With an electric mixer, cream butter and 1/3 cup sugar until fluffy. Beat in lime zest, lime juice and vanilla. Add cornstarch and salt to mixture, and beat thoroughly, then add flour and beat thoroughly. Draw dough together into a ball, cover, and chill for at least one hour. Roll out on a floured board to 1/4 inch thick; cut with a small cutter- I use my fluted cutter from Dehillerin- and place on greased cookie sheets. This cookie does not spread, so cookies can be placed 3/4 inch apart without fear. Bake at 350 degrees about 10 minutes, or until bottoms are barely brown. Cool. Place remaining powdered sugar in a flat-bottomed container. Coat both sides of each cookie with sugar. Cookies may be stored in airtight containers or frozen. Makes at least 4 cookie sheets full of cookies.....i didn't count!
