Lime Cookies

1 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 ground nutmeg
1 Tablespoon finely shredded lime peel
2 Tablespoons lime juice
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 recipe sugar topping:

Sugar topping:
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

In a large bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat until combined.

Beat in shredded lime peel and lime juice until combined. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in any remaining flour.

Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each to 1/4 inch thickness with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar topping.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
