Many thanks to Jayne of The Barefoot Kitchen Witch for choosing this weeks recipe. These cookies tasted just like a butter cookie with lime, coconut, and almond flavoring! I loved the combination of these flavors although the original recipe calls for lime, coconut, and macadamia nuts which I'd love to try as well. I substituted the vanilla extract for almond and sliced these cookies both circular and rectangularly using round 1 1/2 inch cookie cutters. Some of my cookies were significantly thinner than others thus baking more crisply which I preferred. They are super crunchy and buttery with a zing! I will most definitely be making these again, perhaps with the original instructed ingredients!
Check out Jayne's blog for the recipe. It won't disappoint...
Beautiful pictures, Melissa!

ReplyDeletemmm almond sounds like it would be great in these! I agree- these are going to be an old standard for me from now on!
ReplyDeleteNice job! Your cookies look perfect. I wish I'd subbed the vanilla extract for almond. I love almond extract.

ReplyDeleteThese were good, weren't they. I used cashews and chai in mine. Love shortbread and I will make again. May have to try wit almonds next time. Yours look yummy!
