Elote-inspired Cookies
  1. In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients until combined. Set aside

  2. In a large bowl, whip the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 4-5 mins. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.

  3. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet until combined. The mixture should not be too wet or sticky. Using a ⅓ cup measuring cup or large ice cream scoop, measure out the dough and place it into your palm.

  4. Use your thumb to press into the center of the dough, creating a little well. Add a slight spoonful of corn kernels and fold the edges of the dough around the center to enclose it. Roll into a ball. Repeat then chill overnight.

  5. Preheat an oven at 350F and place a rack in the center of the oven. Bake cookies for 12-14 mins or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 mins.

  6. While cooling, make the lime buttercream frosting. Cream the butter until smooth and fluffy. Add ½c powdered sugar at a time then beat until combined, repeat. Add then lime juice and salt. Beat until combined once more.

  7. Pipe on cooled cookies. Garnish with lime zest and tajin. Serve
