These lime cookies, covered in delicious green cracks, will brighten up any tea party. They're easy to make; the key is to let the dough set properly in the refrigerator. When baked, the sugar-coated dough balls spread out, creating characteristic cracks. The cookies are soft on the inside, crisp on the outside, and burst with a wonderful citrus flavor.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the lime zest and juice, then add the food coloring. Reduce the mixer speed to low; gradually add the flour mixture and mix until combined.
- Cover and refrigerate until the dough sets, about 45 minutes.
- Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine powdered sugar and decorative sugar in a small bowl. Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough into balls, and roll them in the sugar mixture to coat completely. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the cookies are puffed and cracked on top and golden brown around the edges, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
