Salted Margarita Bites beingmvp/2013/12/give-this-holiday-season-by-having.html Ingredients: 1 pouch Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix 1 tablespoon slightly packed grated fresh lime peel 1/3 cup softened butter 1 egg 4 teaspoons fresh lime juice 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt Directions: In a large bowl, stir together the cookie mix and lime peel until blended. Add butter, egg and lime juice. I just hand mixed together but you can also use an electric mixer on medium-low speed until blended and the dough becomes soft. Shape the dough into a 12 inch log on plastic wrap. Wrap tightly and freeze for 30 minutes or until firm enough to slice. You can also make ahead and place in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in advance. I made the dough a day in advance and placed in the fridge to firm up. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Unwrap dough and cut into 1/4 inch slices. I used a Silpat mat which is heaven when baking. Place the slices 2 inches apart and lightly sprinkle with the salt. Bake about 9 minutes or until pale brown on the bottom. I tend to over bake so I had to force myself to pull these out of the oven when the timer started yelling at me. Cook for a minute then transfer to a cooling rack. Completely cool before storing. Garnish cookies with freshly grated lime peel just before serving if you want.
