Ingredients:

Cookies:
3/4 cup Butter
1 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp. Tequila
2.5 cups Flour
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Salt

Green Glaze:
4-5 cups Powdered Sugar
5 Tbs. Lime Juice
6-8 drops Green Food Coloring

White Detail Glaze:
2/3 cup Powdered Sugar
1.5 Tbs. Lime Juice

1. Cream together the butter and sugar. Add the eggs and tequila and mix until smooth. Slowly add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix until fully combined. Cover the dough and place into the refrigerator for 1 hour.

2. Preheat the oven 400 deg F. Take your chilled dough and place it on a flat, floured surface. Take a rolling pin (or a water bottle because you’re very unprepared and don’t own one) and roll out the dough to 1/4″ thick. Use a small glass to cut 2-3″ circles of sugar cookie dough and place on a cookie sheet 1″ apart. Bake for 6 minutes.

3. Once the cookies are all done baking, put together your glaze by mixing the powdered sugar with the lime juice. Then add food coloring and combine. Cover each cookie by placing the cookies on a cooling rack and then spoon 1/2 Tbs. of glaze on to each cookie and spread it to the edges. The glaze will start to drip down the sides and fully cover it. You will definitely have a mess to clean up afterwards, so you might want to place a piece of waxed paper underneath.

4. Finish off the cookies once the green glaze has slightly hardened by making the thicker white glaze for the lines in the lime design. Mix together the powdered sugar and lime juice and place in a plastic bag. Cut a tiny corner off the bag to let a single line of glaze out and draw a circle around the perimeter of the cookie. Then make two overlapping X’s in the center.

Store in an air tight container for up to one week.
