GUIDE / INSTRUCTIONS

For the Margarita Tequila Cookies
  • Beat butter and granulated sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg, lime peel, and food coloring; mix well. Gradually beat in flour, gelatin and salt on low speed until well mixed. Divide dough in half. Form each half into a log about 9 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap in wax paper.
  • Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
  • Pro Tip: Double the batch and freeze a full recipe for National Margarita Day on February 22!
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix ½ cup of sanding sugar and kosher salt together. Roll each cold dough log in mixture to coat evenly. Cut dough into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  • One recipe makes approximately 3 dozen cookies.
  • If you prefer heart shaped cookies instead of round cookies, use a heart cookie cutter at this time before placing on the baking sheet. Place on ungreased baking sheets. If desired sprinkle a bit of additional sugar and salt mixture on tops.
  • Bake 12 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
  • To create the tequila glaze, mix 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, and 1 tablespoon each water and tequila in small bowl until smooth.
  • Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies. If desired, sprinkle lightly with additional sanding sugar. Let stand until glaze is set.
