    A sturdy cookie with a lot of lime flavor! Lime Jewels are a great cookie to make to ship or just to present on your holiday cookie platter!
    Lime Jewels

    Today is our last Secret Recipe Club post for 2012.  The group has decided that it would be best to take a break for the month of December and give ourselves the time we need for our families.  Never fear though for we will be back in business for the month of January!

    I decided that since it was our last post for this year and the holidays would be coming upon us in no time flat, that I would find a cookie recipe to share with everyone.  I was assigned Lisa's blog, "Cook Lisa Cook" to find and make something from.  If you haven't been to Lisa's blog before, you are missing out.  She has an amazing array of recipes and each post has a picture of Maisie enjoying the fruits of Mom's labor and love.

    Lime Jewels

    I chose these lime jewels for one main reason.  I love lime.  They are so simple to put together and the only bad thing about them is they disappear way to fast!   These are a perfect cookie for holiday gifts and cookie exchanges.  They hold their own and are absolutely perfectly round, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.  They are a cookie everyone will love! Especially me 🙂

      Yum! Perfect holiday cookie! They look great! I like lime better than lemon. My mom would love these, too.
      So, I guess I won't talk to you until next year, since we won't be doing a Dec. post. Happy Holidays! 😉 hehe

      They sound delightful. I love bright citrus flavors in a dessert.
