Ingredients
1 ½ Sticks of Butter - room temperature
¾ Cup Sugar
1 Egg
1 ½ Cup Flour
½ Cup Cornmeal
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
½ Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Lime Zest
1 Teaspoon Lime Juice
*½ Cup Sugar - for rolling cookies in
½ Cup White Chocolate Chips - melted
1-2 Tablespoons Lime Zest - for topping cookies

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a stand mixer, cream butter, and sugar together until light and fluff for 2-3 minutes.
Add in egg and mix until just combined.
Add flour, cornmeal, salt, baking powder, lime zest, and juice to the butter mixture. Mix until everything is combined well and the cookie dough has come together.
In a small bowl, add the remaining ½ cup of white sugar. Scoop the dough out with a cookie scoop, then roll the ball into the sugar until completely covered. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Once all the cookie dough balls have been rolled in sugar, place them in preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes.
Remove the cookies once finished and cool completely.
While the cookies are baking, slowly melt white chocolate in a double broiler (see post for instructions if needed). Once completely melted, use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle over the cooled cookies.
To finish them off, zest one lime over top of the cookies while the white chocolate is still warm.
