Lime Cornmeal Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add egg; beat until just blended. Add citrus zests, lime juice, and almond extract.
• With the mixer on low speed, add flour and cornmeal. Continue beating until well blended. Transfer dough to a piece of plastic wrap. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with Silpats or parchment paper. Fill a small bowl with cornmeal. Using a 1 1/4-inch ice-cream scoop, form balls from chilled dough. Place balls on prepared sheets, spaced about 3 inches apart. Dip bottom of a medium drinking glass into cornmeal. Flatten balls with the bottom of glass until dough is about 1/4 inch thick.
• Bake cookies until crisp and light-golden brown around the edges, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack, and let the cookies cool completely.
• Place a wire rack on top of a piece of parchment paper. Pour the lime glaze over the cooled cookies, allowing the excess to drip off the edges. Let glaze set. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, lime juice and zest. Combine flour and cornmeal; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well., Shape into two 12-in. rolls; wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Shape each roll into a square-shaped log. Freeze 1 hour or until firm., Preheat oven to 350°. Unwrap logs and cut into 3/8-in. slices. Place 1 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 11-14 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. , Combine confectioners' sugar and lime juice; spread over cookies. Decorate with sprinkles. Let stand until set.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Prepare the corn muffin mix as directed on the box, then stir in the butter, jalapenos, flour and honey. Use a 2-inch ice cream scoop or 1/4-cup measure to scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 1/2 inches between each scoop. Sprinkle with the chile lime seasoning.
• Bake the cookies until puffed, light golden on top and golden brown on the underside, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grate 1 teaspoon zest from the limes. (You can usually get 1 teaspoon from 1 lime, but you may need to grate some zest off the other.) Add to a food processor.
• Add flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt and pulse once or twice to combine. Add butter and pulse until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Pulse a few more times until some of the crumbs start to come together, but don't overprocess the dough. It should be somewhat crumbly and not form a ball. (Alternatively, you can mix this in a bowl using two knives, or use a pastry cutter to mix the butter into the flour.)
• Press the dough into an even layer in an ungreased, fluted 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom or in a 9-inch pie pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Bake until golden brown, about 40 to 50 minutes.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Using a butter knife, cut the shortbread into 12 wedges while still warm.
• Make the glaze: Halve the zested lime and squeeze 1 tablespoon juice into a small bowl. Whisk in confectioners' sugar and, if you like, more lime juice to taste. (More lime juice will make the glaze thinner and more tart, while less lime juice yields a thicker, sweeter glaze.) Drizzle glaze over the cooled shortbread, then zest the second lime over the icing before it sets. (Use a citrus zester, if you have one, or a regular zester, if you don't.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease your baking sheets.
• Beat the butter and 2/3 cup sugar together until creamy. Mix in the egg and lime extract. Blend well.
• In a separate bowl, combine the cornmeal, baking powder, salt and flour. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix well.
• Drop teaspoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Dip the bottom of a glass, or similar round, flat object in the 1/4 cup sugar, and slightly flatten the balls of dough. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookie bottoms are lightly browned.
• To Make Icing: Combine the lime zest, confectioners' sugar, and enough lime juice to make a spreadable glaze. Spread over the tops of cooled cookies.

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar 3-4 minutes.
• Add egg and beat until JUST combined.
• Add zests, lime juice and extract.
• Add flour and cornmeal and mix until well blended.
• Cover with waxed paper or plastic wrap.
• Form into a disc (why? Beats me) and chill, at least, 1 hour.
• Roll heaping teaspoons of dough into balls and place on baking stones (or lined baking sheets) 3" apart.
• Dip bottom of a medium drinking glass into a bowl filled with the cornmeal and flatten balls with the bottom of the glass until dough is 1/4" thick.
• Bake cookies at 350 until golden brown around the edges, about 14-16 minutes.
• When cookies cool pour lime glaze (mix ingredients together) over them.
• Let glaze set.
• Devour.

Steps:

• Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with mixer on medium speed until fluffy.
• Beat in yolk,lime peel and juice.
• On low speed, beat in flour and cornmeal.
• On a lightly floured surface with lightly floured hands, roll dough into an 8 inch long log.
• Wrap and freeze 1 hour or until firm enough to slice neatly.
• Heat oven to 350 F.
• Cut log in 1/4 thick slices.
• Cut each slice in half.
• Place 2 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet (s).
• Bake 12 minutes or until edges of cookies begin to brown lightly.
• Cool on sheet 1 minute before removing.
• ICING: Whisk sugar,juice and water in bowl until smooth.
• Whisk in a tiny amount (less than 1 drop) food color until lightly tinted.
• Scrape into a small ziptop plastic bag, snip tip off 1 corner and drizzle icing over cookies.
• Let dry.
