3 tablespoons orange, lemon, and lime zest (1 tbsp each)
2 tablespoons orange, lemon and lime juice (2 tablespoons total)
3 cups powdered sugar (icing)
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons orange, lemon and lime zest
Juice of 1/2 lime
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Dash salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter and sugar until combined. Add egg yolks and mix
until combined (set whites aside for the icing.) Add the zest and the
flour and mix until just combined, then add juice and mix until
combined.
Scoop out heaping teaspoons of dough, then roll them into balls
between your hands. Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 13
minutes. Remove from the oven and keep on the cookie sheet for 3
to 4 minutes. Remove from the pan with a spatula and allow to cool
completely before icing.
To make the icing, combine 1 egg white with the rest of the icing
ingredients. Whisk thoroughly until combined, adding either more
powdered sugar or more juice until it reaches a pourable but still
thick consistency.
Drizzle the icing across the cookies in several lines, then do it again
in the other direction. Sprinkle with extra zest before the icing sets.
