These were flavorless. I literally had to do the following to coax some life out of these cookies:
1) squeeze and grate five extra limes.
2) pour powered sugar into a cup.
3) when the baked cookies were warm, pour a 1/4 teaspoon of the lime juice onto the cookie and let it sit for 30 seconds.
4) dip the cookie into the cup containing the powdered sugar.
5) spinkle a bit of zest for color and for a smidge of extra lime flavor.
These made them come to life and were pretty tasty.

In reply to Deven Leigh Shreve. I haven't tried it but you could probably crumble the dough and add a little more juice until the dough will hold together.

I made the dough last night and was going to bake them with my 7yr old. I got caught up in reading time and forgot about the dough in the fridge. Now it falls apart when I try to cut it. How can I fix this without throwing it out?

In reply to Robin. It should be affect much by elevation. It's a dry crumbly shortbread cookie. Knead the dough a little bit and if it holds together in a log, you're fine. If it doesn't hold together, try adding a little more juice.

I’ve updated the direction so it’s more clear that you’ll use the parchment paper to wrap around each half of the dough and shape it into a log. Martha shows how to wrap it in detail in this video https://www.marthastewart.com/249802/lime-meltaways
