Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 15

MAKES 5 DOZEN COOKIES
2 cups flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup (1½ sticks) butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon finely grated lime peel
1 teaspoon pure orange extract
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
½ cup sanding sugar (see Note)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
TEQUILA GLAZE
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon tequila (optional)

Steps:

  • For cookies: In medium bowl, mix flour and ¼ teaspoon salt. In large bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add egg, lime peel, orange extract and sage; beat until well-blended. Gradually beat in flour mixture until well-mixed. Divide dough in half. Form each half into a log about 1 ½ inches in diameter and 9 inches long. Wrap in wax paper. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
  • Preheat oven 350 degrees. Mix sanding sugar and kosher salt. Roll each cold dough log in mixture to coat evenly. Cut dough into ¼-inch thick slices. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
  • For glaze: In small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, water and tequila until smooth. To substitute for tequila, add 1 additional tablespoon water. Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies; let stand until glaze is set.
  • Note: Sanding sugar, also known as decorator's sugar, is a large crystal sugar that will not dissolve when baked. It can be found in some supermarkets and housewares and craft stores.
