Here’s something a little different for your platter of Christmas sweets. Cornmeal gives these light cookies crunch, and the tart lime glaze tops them off perfectly.—Wendy Rusch, Fall Creek, Wisconsin
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup lime juice
4-1/2 teaspoons grated lime peel
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
glaze:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons lime juice
holiday sprinkles
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, lime juice and peel. Combine flour and cornmeal; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2. Shape into two 12-in. rolls; wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Shape each roll into a square-shaped log. Freeze for 1 hour or until firm.
3. Unwrap and cut into 3/8-in. slices. Place 1 in. apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 11-14 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
4. Combine confectioners' sugar and lime juice; spread over cookies. Decorate with sprinkles. Let stand until set. Yield: 8 dozen.
