Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 ounce(s) cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 stick(s) butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 1/4 cup(s) all purpose flour, separated
1 cup(s) toasted finely ground pecans
1 box(es) lime jello 3 oz size
1 - lime, juiced
1 1/2 cup(s) powdered sugar, separated
1/8 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325% and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium size mixing bowl add the cream cheese, butter, sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well, add 2 Tablespoons of the Lime Jello and approx 2 Tablespoons of the lime juice, be sure there is about 1 Tablespoon of lime juice left for the glaze, adjust as needed.
  • Mix 1 cup of the all purpose flour and the finely ground pecans together. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients well. If dough seems too sticky, add a small amount of the remaining 1/4 cup of all purpose flour. Meltaway cookie dough is rather stiff and holds a ball shape.
  • Once the dough has been mixed you will cover the bowl with a piece of plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. The chilled dough is easier to scoop onto your baking pan.
  • Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the dough to a flat even bottom and release from the scoop and place onto the baking sheet lined with parchment. These cookies do not spread while baking so they can be close together on the sheet. Place the pan into the preheated oven for 15 minutes. While the meltaways are baking mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1 Tablespoon of lime juice, 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon of the lime jello for color, set aside. When the meltaway cookies are done remove from oven and immediately begin to gently roll them into a bowl with the remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar. Once the cookies are cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top as desired, note, if glaze is a little thick, add a drop or two of water at a time to make it thin enough to drizzle.

FRUITY MELTAWAYS RECIPE - NYT COOKING
Classic lime meltaways get their tender texture from the addition of cornstarch. Here, the cornstarch is swapped for your choice of freeze-dried fruit finely ground in a spice grinder or blender. This not only keeps the cookies delicate, but also adds a concentrated fruity punch. Any fruit will work, but choose a vibrant freeze-dried fruit, like cherries and blueberries, for a more brightly-colored cookie. Once formed into logs, the cookie dough will keep in the freezer for 3 months, helping you get ahead on your holiday baking. The freshly baked cookies are tossed in a combination of ground freeze-dried fruit and confectioners’ sugar for a pretty pastel finish.
