Step 1

For the cookies: Combine the butter, confectioners' sugar, salt, basil, lime zest and juice in the bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer. Beat on low speed to combine, then on medium speed until creamy and smooth. Reduce the speed to low; add the cornstarch and flour in several additions, beating until the dough comes together.

Step 2

Step 2 Lightly flour a work surface. Transfer the dough to the surface; shape the dough into two 10-inch logs. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.

Step 3

Step 3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line several baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.

Step 4

Step 4 Discard the wrap. Cut the logs into 1/4-inch slices, arranging the slices 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Bake one sheet at a time for 9 to 11 minutes, until lightly browned. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat to use all of the dough.

Step 5

Step 5 Meanwhile, make the glaze: whisk the confectioners' sugar, concentrated passion fruit juice and heavy cream in a medium bowl until smooth.

Step 6

Step 6 Place a sheet of parchment paper under the wire rack to catch any drips from the glaze. Use a spoon to drizzle or spread the glaze over the cooled cookies. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes before serving or storing.
