these are wonderful! i did one big log so i had big cookies, so easy and so yummy! -
Good cookie! I didn't have quite the amount of lime zest but they were still tasty. I almost goofed and left out 1/2 stick of butter, but remembered at the last minute. They were a nice tart cookie. I just sifted powdered sugar on top after baking. -
WONDERFUL cookie. My friend and I are going to be making these tomorrow night for a Christmas cookie exchange - but these always are the first to go!! Thank you for posting this recipe. -
These are very addicting! Use the real key lime juice and you just can't go wrong. They are very easy to make, but I had a hard time sharing them with others. (I had to hide some for myself because they go so fast!) -
Very easy to make. My little daughter and I made them. I would rather make them larger as a big elegant cookie, perhaps put some fring around the edge for flare. I am making the next batch about 2 inches round. The kids love them too!
