Lime Icebox Cookies

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest (from about 5 limes)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/2 teaspoons green sanding sugar

1. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
2. Beat the butter, cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon lime zest in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the lime juice and egg; mix until combined.
4. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low, add the flour mixture and beat until combined.
5. Place two 12-by-16-inch pieces of parchment paper on a work surface.
6. Divide the dough in half and place each half on a piece of parchment; form each into a rough log.
7. Fold the parchment over the dough; use a ruler to help you roll and press each piece of dough into a 1-by-12-inch straight-sided log.
8. Wrap each log in the parchment and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
9. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
10. Combine the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons lime zest and the green sanding sugar on a piece of parchment.
11. Unwrap the logs; roll in the lime sugar to coat.
12. Slice into 1/4-inch-thick squares; arrange 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
13. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges, about 12 minutes.
14. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
