Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup butter
⅔ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh jalapeno
1 lime, zested and juiced
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup confectioners' sugar
¼ cup lime juice
½ tablespoon grated fresh jalapeno, or more to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix flour, butter, sugar, jalapeno, lime zest and juice, and salt together in a large bowl.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets; flatten slightly with a thumb print to accommodate icing.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove cookies from the oven and let cool at least 10 minutes.
Combine confectioners' sugar, lime juice, jalapeno, and lime zest in a bowl. Drizzle icing onto cooled cookies.
