Low-Cal Lime Curd Cookies

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 34 cup powdered sugar
• 1 12 teaspoons lime zest, finely minced
• 2 large eggs
• 13 cup fresh lime juice
• 36 shortbread cookies, commercially prepared (about 10 oz total)
• 34 cup light whipped topping

1. In a medium mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light; add zest.
2. Next, add one egg at a time, beating after each addition; add lime juice (mixture will be lumpy).
3. Pour mixture into a medium saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until lime mixture thickens like a pudding, about 10 minutes.
4. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
5. Spread a heaping teaspoon of lime curd onto each cookie.
6. Before serving, top each with a teaspoon of whipped topping.
