LOVELY LIME COOKIES
I found this recipe in a newspaper. It makes very soft, lime flavored cookies. You might want to taste the lime juice you're using - I think the strength can vary, because, once when I made it, I couldn't taste the lime at all! The other times it has come through just fine. You can also substitute lemon juice. Note: I just made these cookies again and ended up with wonderfully soft, fluffy sugar cookies (read: no lime flavor at all). I'm hereby considering this recipe under construction, and may edit it to reflect some tinkering (with extracts or concentrates).

CHOCOLATE CHIP LIME COOKIES
These are chocolate chip cookies with a hint of lime, which gives them a nice darker shade and a noticeably different taste. If you use the iced tea scoop instruction, instead of the tablespoon method, the cookies will take somewhere between 15 and 18 minutes to cook.
