In medium bowl combine flour, baking powder
and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and egg
yolk, beating until light and creamy. Beat in lime juice and peel until well mixed. Stir
in the flour mixture until just mixed. Dough will be soft.
Form dough into 1/2 inch balls. If dough is too soft to handle it can be refrigerated for
an hour until it's firm enough to gently shape into a ball. Place on prepared cookie sheet
and bake until lightly browned, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to wire rack. While still
warm, sift powdered sugar over cookies. Cool completely.
Makes 2 1/2 - 3 dozen cookies.
