Steps:
- Put butter and 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add lime zest and juice and vanilla, and mix until fluffy.
- Whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl. Add to butter mixture, and mix on low speed until just combined.
- Divide dough in half. Place each half on an 8-by-12-inch sheet of parchment paper. Roll in parchment to form a log 1 1/4 inches in diameter, pressing a ruler along edge of parchment at each turn to narrow log. Refrigerate logs until cold and firm, at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove parchment from logs; cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Space rounds 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake cookies until barely golden, about 13 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. While still warm, toss cookies with remaining 2/3 cup sugar in a resealable plastic bag. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 2 weeks.

LEMON MELTAWAYS
We're calling it: This citrusy spin on timeless shortbread is a new classic! With the buttery dough and double dose of lemon-there's zest in the dough and lemon juice in the icing-these lemon meltaways really live up to their name. And just like classic shortbread, they're made with a short ingredient list. So don't be deceived by their impressive looks, these cookies are totally doable. One tip though, don't skip tossing them in powdered sugar for the second time-doing so adds to their magical, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Give them a try and let us know if you think they're worthy of a permanent spot in your recipe box.

MELTAWAY SHORTBREAD COOKIES
Is it ever too early to be thinking about holiday baking? These coconut shortbread cookies are always on my list, since they were my dad's favorite and I want them to remain a part of my holiday tradition. I whir the coconut in the food processor before adding it to the dough so the coconut pieces will be tiny. This isn't a sweet dough, but after baking it's "double dunked" in confectioners' sugar, so that sweetens the cookies considerably. These aren't exclusively holiday cookies so bake them any time of the year. Store in an air tight container in a cool place. The yield of this recipe varies, since it depends on how the dough is shaped and sliced. Chill time is not included in prep/cook time. (I've thought about mixing this dough in the food processor, but I haven't tried it yet.)

Steps:
- Cream margarine, shortening and sugar, then add flour; whirl coconut in food processor, scrape down container and whirl again; add to flour mixture and blend well.
- Place two 16-inch lengths of plastic wrap on flat counter and spoon half of dough along the lengthwise center of each piece of plastic; fold edges of plastic over dough and shape into a"log" a little larger than the diameter of a golf ball; fold plastic wrap ends under and chill in refrigerator until firm.
- When dough has chilled, preheat oven to 375° and slice rounds/discs of dough approximately 1/4-inch thick; arrange on non-stick cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes until lightly browned.
- Remove from baking sheet and immediately place in confectioners' sugar, cover both sides of cookie, shake off excess, then place sugar coated cookies on a wire rack to cool; the cookies are very tender when they are warm and will break easily.
- When cookies are completely cool, coat in confectioners' sugar a second time then store in a cool place.

FRUITY MELTAWAYS
Classic lime meltaways get their tender texture from the addition of cornstarch. Here, the cornstarch is swapped for your choice of freeze-dried fruit finely ground in a spice grinder or blender. This not only keeps the cookies delicate, but also adds a concentrated fruity punch. Any fruit will work, but choose a vibrant freeze-dried fruit, like cherries and blueberries, for a more brightly-colored cookie. Once formed into logs, the cookie dough will keep in the freezer for 3 months, helping you get ahead on your holiday baking. The freshly baked cookies are tossed in a combination of ground freeze-dried fruit and confectioners' sugar for a pretty pastel finish.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a stiff spatula, mix butter, confectioners' sugar, salt, lemon juice and vanilla until creamy and combined. Add ground freeze-dried fruit and mix until distributed. Add flour, and mix until it all comes together into a soft dough.
- Divide the dough into two (250-gram) portions. On pieces of parchment paper, wax paper or plastic wrap, roll each portion of dough into a 10-inch-long log. Chill for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator or up to 3 months tightly wrapped in the freezer.
- Set oven racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven, and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two sheet trays with parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife, trim about ⅛-inch off each side of the chilled dough logs, just so that you have flat ends. Slice the logs into scant ¼-inch-thick cookies. Roll the log a quarter turn after each slice to keep it round. (If the dough cracks while slicing, let it warm up at room temperature for 10 minutes.) Arrange on sheet trays ½-inch apart and bake, rotating the trays once during baking, until set and barely golden underneath, 10 to 12 minutes.
- While the cookies bake, make the sugar coating: Sift together the powdered sugar with the ground freeze-dried fruit. While still warm, gently toss the cookies in the powdered sugar mixture and return to the sheet tray to fully cool. The cookies will keep for 2 weeks stored at room temperature in an airtight container.

THE BEST PECAN MELTAWAYS EVER!
From the January 2010 Taste of Home magazine by Alberta Kay. Make the dough ahead of time and allow time for it to chill. The proportions are a bit different than other recipes posted. These sound like the wonderful cookies my mother used to make. Will let you know soon.

MINT MELTAWAYS
This recipe comes from a Betty Crocker cookie cookbook my aunt gave me for a birthday present when I was a kid. It was my first "grown up" cookbook, and little did she know, she started my collection! I like these because they use butter mints and give a mellow minty taste to the shortbread. Prep time includes chilling time.
