Lime Sandwich Sugar Cookies Recipe

In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time then stir in the vanilla. Combine the flour baking powder and salt; stir into the creamed mixture until well blended. Cover or wrap dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. If you are in a big hurry freeze for a half hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 7 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the frosting: In a medium bowl beat the lime juice milk confectioners' sugar and green food color until smooth and creamy. Add more milk or sugar if necessary to achieve a good spreading consistency. When cookies are completely cool spread icing between cookies to make sandwiches.
