Only 7 days to St. Patrick's Day. I am nibbling on one of these cookies that are sprinkled with green.
Lime Sugar Cookies
Slight change from Rock Recipes
These lime sugar cookies are delicious. I rolled them in sugar and zest, because I wanted to try and get a bit of extra green in addition to more lime flavor. The cookies are very light, you may catch yourself eating five. I left out the coconut from Rock Recipes' version simply because I was more interested in the green color!
