There’s something refreshing about lemons, limes and key limes in the summer time, they just make your mouth water when you think of biting into one of them…see, your mouth is watering already! I saw this cookie sometime ago and wrote the recipe down to make them when I had time, and every time I think of making them, I have no key limes or limes in the house. I’m sure you can use this same recipe using lemons instead of key limes or limes…then the recipe name would be Lemon Coolers! Either way, I think you’ll love this cookie…on the other hand, I think you’ll love this cookie, it’s that good. This cookie is so delicate it literally melts in your mouth! You will not be disappointed in this recipe!
Happy Cookie Baking!
