Lime and Thyme Cookies

Cookies

In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the butter with the sugar, egg and vanilla using a wooden spoon. Add in the thyme and lime. Once well combined, add in the flour gradually.

Cover the mixture with cling (plastic) wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (up to 12 hours).

Once the dough has hardened. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (355 degrees Fahrenheit), and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Roll the dough into a log and use a cutting knife to slice the dough into 1cm (1/3 inch) sized pieces.

Lay the cookies onto the baking sheets and let them bake for around 13 minutes, or until they begin to brown at the edges.

Icing

While the cookies are baking, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients until well mixed in. Add in water 1 teaspoon at a time if the icing is too thick until desired consistency is reached.

Drizzle icing onto cookies once they have cooked down, you can use the back of a teaspoon to smooth the icing around.

Add a small sprig of thyme onto each cookie (optional).
