Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl cream together butter, oil, sugar and powdered sugar.
Add lime juice and eggs and beat again.
Add flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt and mix until it comes together. Do not over mix.
Roll dough into 1 inch balls and then roll them in the 1/3 cup of reserved sugar and place onto the cookie sheets. (9 balls per sheet.)
Spray a glass drinking glass with vegetable spray and then dip it into the sugar.
Press the glass into each ball and twist to make a rough edge. (Don't go too deep, you still want a nice thick cookie.)
Bake for 8-9 minutes until cookie looks cooked but not brown. You want these to seem a little under-done for a soft cookie. Get it too crispy and it won't have the same delicious melt in your mouth effect.
Frosting
Mix all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat until creamy and smooth.
