Lemon Lime Cookies
This is a cookie recipe I got from my mother's cookie book. You can also use the same recipe to make orange cookies by substituting 2 tbs of grated orange peel for the lemon and lime peels and 1/4 cup orange juice for lemon and lime juices in the dough. Substitute 1 tsp grated orange peel for the lime peel and about 2tbs orange juice for the lemon juice and water in the frosting.
