• In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Combine flour and cornstarch; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in lime zest and vanilla. Tint half of the dough green if desired., Using a cookie press fitted with a ribbon disk, press dough into 12-in.-long strips 2-in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Cut each strip into 3-in. pieces (do not separate pieces). , Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH SPRITZ

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Mix dry ingredients and set aside.
• Cream butter, mix in powdered sugar.
• Add egg yolks, vanilla, and almond extract.
• Gradually beat in flour mixture.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie press and decorate with colored sugar. Bake for 5 minutes and allow to cool for 2-3 on the sheet before transferring to wax paper or wire rack. I usually use two baking sheets so the one I am using isn't too warm or it will start to melt the dough and you'll have trouble with the press.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH COOKIES III

Steps:

• Combine the butter, flour and confectioners' sugar together. At first it will have a pie crust consistency. Roll into one large log and wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap. Chill for at least one hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Slice chilled log into 1/4 inch thick slices. Place cookies on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until edges just begin to turn golden, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully so they don't burn.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat the shortening with the sugars and the peanut butter until well mixed. Beat in the egg and the water.
• Gradually beat in the flour, baking soda and salt. Form cookies on an ungreased baking sheet with a cookie press or roll into balls and smash flat with a floured fork or fingers.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 12 minutes or more until done, usually when the puffed up cookie has lowered down to level. Before then it is more chewy.
• For High Altitude, omit water and add eggs last, mixing well, but not beating them as at sea level. Raise the temperature to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C). Or use a convection oven at 312 degrees F (155 degrees C) for 15 min works even better.
