Step 1

Add lime zest and sugar to a medium bowl. Whisk together or massage lime zest into sugar.

Step 2

Add softened butter to the bowl, and mix on medium speed until butter and sugar are fluffy.

Step 3

Add in flour and salt. Mix with rubber spatula until just combined, and a dough forms.

Step 4

Divide dough in half and form each half into a flat disk. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 5

Place the oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 350°F.

Step 6

Let dough soften for 20 minutes before removing plastic wrap and rolling the dough out, one disk at a time, on a well floured surface. Roll out dough to a desired thickness. Aim for ⅛-¼ inch thickness.

Step 7

Using a 2 ½ inch round cookie cutter cut out cookies and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Gather dough scraps and keep re-rolling until you have 40 cookies cut out.

Step 8

Return cookie cut outs to the refrigerator to firm up for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Bake for 11-12 minutes rotating half way through. Cookies edges should look slightly golden brown.

Step 10

Let cookies rest on a baking sheet for 5 minutes before carefully moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

While the shortbread cookies are cooling, prepare the white chocolate ganache by placing chopped white chocolate in a medium sized heat safe bowl.

Step 12

Heat the heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan on medium heat. Heat until heavy whipping cream is steaming (right before it begins to boil).

Step 13

Carefully pour cream on top of the chopped white chocolate. Let sit undisturbed for 10 minutes.

Step 14

Mix cream and white chocolate until it is completely melted, and smooth.

Step 15

Place in the refrigerator uncovered for about 40 minutes or until white chocolate has thickened. The consistency should be spreadable.

Step 16

Fill the underside of a shortbread cookie with the white chocolate ganache by either piping or spreading with a knife. Place another cookie on top, sandwiching them together.

Step 17

Repeat for the remainder of the cookies
