- Grate 1 tsp. peel and squeeze 3 Tbsp. juice from limes.
- In medium bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat butter and granulated sugar till creamy. Reduce speed to low; beat in egg and lime peel and juice till blended. Beat in flour till combined.
- Divide dough in half. On separate sheets of wax paper, shape each half into a 6-by-2 1/2-by-1 1/2 inch brick. Wrap each brick in wax paper and freeze 3 hrs, or possibly up to 1 month.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Slice 1 brick into 1/4 inch-thick slices. Place slices 1 inch apart on large, ungreased cookie sheet. Bake cookies 12 to 15 min, till edges are golden. Transfer to wire racks with a wide spatula. Sift powdered sugar over warm cookies.
- Repeat with remaining cookie dough and powdered sugar.
