Patty,
I made these cookies over the weekend, and my wife and girls loved them. They didn't last but a day or so. Thanks for a great recipe.

Thank You! I don't eat sweets very often, but when I make these I can't stop eating them!
This is a Martha Stewart recipe BTW. |

Hey there Patti,
I just came across your recipe - looks great! I was wondering if you'd ever made this w/lemons instead of limes? I would think it would work, wouldn't you? Thanks! Stephanie in MD |

Hi Patti,
Okay, today I made a half-batch of the cookies using lemon. I think they are (what's left of them) really good. I plan to do another half-batch using lime next time. I just had a thought - I wonder how they'd be using a mix of lemon & lime? Hmmmmmmm..........may have to try that too  . Thanks again for taking time to post that recipe. Stephanie in MD |

Glad you liked them. Hope you measured exactly 1/2 of all... hard to get exact 1/6 cp! I bet you'll like it better with lime, so make a WHOLE batch LOL

Now that I have 2 persian limes ready to pick, I will make these cookies again. Never made it with fresh picked limes!
'Tis the season for baking again!
