These tangy cookies are a favorite of mine. Light and tangy. Great when served with Sherbet as a light, company pleasing dessert. A little green coloring may be added but don't get them too green ! They pack well and look great on a cookie tray. Something different and not heavy or too rich. Pretty to look at too !

I just made these with First Fruits from my Persian Lime tree. They are nice shortbread cookies. Could make with lemon also. The glaze was WAY too loose for my taste. Drip that juice drop by drop for the thickness you want.

This is a great takeoff on the standard, powdered sugar coated, cookies. I use Nellie and Joe's key lime juice and they are fantastic.
