Lime Meltaways

1 stick of butter melted and at room temperature.
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt, then add the melted butter, 1/3 cup of powdered sugar, lime juice and vanilla. This will form a ball
Using your hands, roll the dough into one long 1 1/4-inch-diameter log. Chill at least 1 hour and then slice.
Slice the dough into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Place rounds on baking sheets, spaced 1 inch apart.
Bake cookies until barely golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool slightly, 8 to 10 minutes.
While still warm, toss the cookies two at a time in a bag filled with powdered sugar
Place the cookies on the wire rack to cool completely.
Store baked cookies in stacks of three or four in cupcake foils
They will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks
