The convenience of cut-out cookies is that they don't require rolling out on the countertop, and you can knead the dough in advance for quick baking at a convenient time. The dough is formed into a log and refrigerated. The chilled dough then easily slices. This recipe infuses the cookies with a wonderful lime aroma and is decorated with a sprinkle of green sugar around the edge, which further hints at the 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, cream cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon lime zest with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the lime juice and egg until fully incorporated. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low, add the flour mixture, and mix until smooth.
- Place two 12x16-inch pieces of parchment paper on a work surface. Divide the dough in half and place each half on a sheet of parchment; shape each piece into a rough log. Fold the parchment over the dough; using a ruler, shape the dough into a 1x12-inch log. Wrap each log in parchment and refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours.
- Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine the remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar with 1.5 teaspoons lime zest and green sugar on a sheet of parchment paper. Unroll the dough and roll the logs in lime sugar to coat completely. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick squares; arrange them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the cookies are golden brown around the edges, about 12 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
