1 c. sugar
1 c. Crisco shortening
3 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. grated lime rind

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix shortening and sugar. Add flour, a tablespoon at a time. Add grated lime rind. When thoroughly mixed, spread with a rolling pin. Cut the dough in small rounds (2 inches) and shape with hands to form patties. Place on cookie sheet covered with waxed paper and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. If desired, sprinkle powdered sugar on top.
