Steps:
- Cream the butter and sugar, then add the rest of the cookie ingredients and mix well. It will be a thick dough. Roll the dough into small balls, the place on a cookie sheet. Use a glass to flatten the cookies, then bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops start to crack. Edges could be slightly browned, but they won't necessarily be. Let cool completely before frosting.
- To make the frosting, beat the butter, lime juice, lime zest, and dash of salt until creamy, then add the powdered sugar and mix well. Add the milk a little at a time until you get a smooth and creamy consistency. Frost cooled cookies, and sprinkle with lime zest.

Steps:
- To make the dough. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the sugar and butter until creamy. Mix in the lime juice and zest.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- When ready to bake, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Drop teaspoon size balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your thumb to indent the tops of the cookies and create a "nest" for the frosting to sit inches Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until set. These cookies should not brown or spread, and will be quite fragile.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before frosting.
- To make the frosting, in a medium bowl use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese with the butter, scraping the bowl several times to ensure there are no lumps. Mix in the powdered sugar and key lime juice. Frost each cookie with a dollop of the frosting.
- Cookies can be stored for 3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

- In a large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and 1/3 cup of the powdered sugar on medium-high speed until light and pale, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the flour, cornstarch, and salt, mixing until combined. At first it might not seem like the dough will come together, but let it keep mixing and it will form into a nice dough, about the consistency of play-dough.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces and roll each half into a 1 1/4-inch diameter log (about 9-inches long each). Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour to chill.
