Steps:
- Put butter and 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add lime zest and juice and vanilla, and mix until fluffy.
- Whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl. Add to butter mixture, and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Divide dough in half. Place each half on an 8-by-12-inch sheet of parchment paper. Roll in parchment to form a log 1 1/4 inches in diameter, pressing a ruler along edge of parchment at each turn to narrow log. Refrigerate logs until cold and firm, at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove parchment from logs; cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Space rounds 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake cookies until barely golden, about 13 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. While still warm, toss cookies with remaining 2/3 cup sugar in a resealable plastic bag. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 2 weeks.

LIME-GLAZED COOKIES
To keep these cookies flaky and light, do not over mix the butter and sugars; the dough must not become too soft before adding the remaining ingredients.

Steps:
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and both sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add lime zest and juice, and salt; beat until combined. Add flour; beat until just combined. Turn out the dough onto a large piece of parchment or waxed paper. Using your hands, shape dough into an 8-inch log; flatten into a rectangle (1 1/2 inches high and 2 1/2 inches wide). Fold paper over log; flatten sides against work surface. Freeze or refrigerate dough until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F, with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place about 2 inches apart on prepared sheets. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are puffed and barely golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Using the back of a spoon spread about 1 teaspoon Lime Glaze on each cookie. Unglazed cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days; they should be eaten the same day they are glazed.
- In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients until spreadable. Use immediately.
