Makes 45 cookies

1 ¾ cup white flour + 2 TBS

½ tsp. salt
2 TBS cornstarch
¾ cup softened, unsalted butter
1 cup confectioner’s sugar

Remove from oven and allow cooling on baking sheet for a few minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool down completely.

Whisk the confectioner’s sugar, lime juice and green food coloring until uniform. Glaze the cookies using a spoon. Return to rack and allow glaze to harden. Serve and enjoy!
