directions

  • Make the Dough: Cream butter and sugar with a mixer until pale and fluffy. Add yolks and vanilla, and beat for 1 minute. Reduce speed to low, and beat in flour and salt until combined. Cover, and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour (or up to 1 day).
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Make the Filling: Whisk sugar, flour and eggs in a medium bowl. Stir in lime zest, juice and salt.
  • Roll balls of dough using 2 teaspoons dough for each. Place 1 inch apart on parchment lined baking sheets. With the handle of a wooden spoon, press gently in the center of each to creat an indentation.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Press centers if indentation loses definition.
  • Spoon filling into centers. Bake until cookies are light brown around edges, 6-8 minutes.
  • Let cool on wire racks.
  • Cookies will keep, covered, for up to 2 days.
  • Just before serving dust with confectioner's sugar.

I love trying new recipes and often have more on my list to try than I will ever get around to making. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg">
