Makes 16 squares
1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup granulated sugar , plus 1/3 cup
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
12 tablespoons unsalted butter ( 11/2 sticks), cut into 1/2-inch cubes and chilled
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Line 8-inch-square baking dish with foil, allowing excess to overhang pan edges. Spray foil with cooking spray. Pulse mint leaves and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in food processor until well combined. Set aside.

3. Firmly pack crumbs into pan and smooth top with back of spoon. Bake until shortbread is lightly golden, about 1 hour. Using foil overhang, lift from pan, transfer to cooling rack, and sprinkle with mint sugar. Cool completely, about 3 hours. Cut into 2-inch squares. (Shortbread actually improves over time and can be stored in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.)
