What is the right kind of cookie for Cinco de Mayo? Salted Lime Butter Cookies, full of the fresh snap of real lime zest and juice with that little bit of margarita from the salt on top.
These FLEW out of the cookie jar on the two weekends we sampled them. This is one cookie dough that does not need to be refrigerated; they come together really easily.
High five to Bake or Break who is one of my favorite sources for recipes!
