Ingredients

Cookies:

  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large limes, zested
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (2 to 3 large limes)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups rice flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Glaze:

Directions

For the cookies: Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper. Set aside.

In a food processor, pulse together the butter, sugar, and lime zest until combined. Add the egg, lime juice, and vanilla. Process until smooth. Add the rice flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Process until the mixture forms a dough. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 20 seconds. Form the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly flour a work surface. Cut the dough in half and roll out each piece into a 9-inch diameter circle, about 1/4-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut the dough into 10 circles and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps of dough, knead together, and roll out to 1/4-inch thick. Cut out 2 additional rounds of dough and place on the baking sheet. Bake until light golden around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.

For the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lime zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the glaze onto each cookie leaving, a 1/4-inch border around the edge. Allow the glaze to harden for about 45 minutes before serving.

    I'm giving this recipe 4 stars for flavor but 3 stars for texture. They get hard soon and do not keep a soft consistency. I solved the problem by dunking them in milk. I did not make the glaze because I don't like my cookies too sweet. The lime flavor in these is great.

    The cookies were ok. I followed the recipe as directed, but came out with gritty cookies. Maybe they are supposed to have some texture, or perhaps I'm just not used to working with rice flour, but these would be great as shortbread cookies with a lime glaze. I think I will try that next time. I too had a gooey dough and had to use extra rice flour to be able to roll it into a ball and work with it.

    I used regular flour and followed the recipe exactly other than that. I didn't have any problems. Next time I'll only make half the icing. It's really citrusy and the cookie is so good by itself it didn't really need all that icing. Next time I think I'll try the brown rice flour and maybe replace the butter with coconut oil and see what happens.
