These little Sweet-tarts..... Lime Meltaways.
The recipe is as follows, it is a variation of Martha Stewart's...Seen Here.
1 stick of butter melted and at room temperature.
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt, then add the melted butter, 1/3 cup of powdered sugar, lime juice and vanilla. This will form a ball.
Using your hands, roll the dough into one long 1 1/4-inch-diameter log. Chill at least 1 hour and then slice.
Slice the dough into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Place rounds on baking sheets, spaced 1 inch apart.
Bake cookies until barely golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool slightly, 8 to 10 minutes.
While still warm, ask your HALF NAKED sous chef to toss the cookies two at a time in a bag filled with powdered sugar...
Place the cookies on the wire rack to cool completely....
Store baked cookies in stacks of three or four in cupcake foils....A'la Martha Stewart.
They will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. ( As if they'd last that long!)

Coming up in the next few weeks, there will be tutorials galore...

A Sewing Wrap.
And lastly...the Coloring Wrap.

Now scoot...go make some of those cookies....and while you're at it....share them with your own half-naked Sous chef.Because Lord knows, mine is not up for hire.
