Margarita Cookies
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup superfine sugar
- 1 lime rind, finely grated
- 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons orange liqueur or 1 teaspoon orange extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons white tequila
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with baking parchment.
- Put the butter, sugar, and lime rind into a bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon, then beat in the egg yolk and orange liqueur or orange extract.
- Sift together the flour and a pinch of salt into the mixture and stir until thoroughly combined.
- Scoop up tablespoons of the dough and put them on the prepared cookie sheets, then flatten gently. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until light golden brown.
- Let cool on the cookie sheets for 5-10 minutes, then using a metal spatula, carefully transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Sift the confectioners' sugar into a bowl and stir in sufficient tequila to give the mixture the consistency of thick cream.
- With the cookies still on the racks, drizzle the frosting over them with a teaspoon. Let set.
