I was thinking about also making a ginger variation - ginger juice and grated fresh ginger - think that might work? …so I’m going to make these for a tea next month.

They smelled so good in the oven that I nearly had a tantrum in my kitchen over how unfair it was that it took me so long to make them. The only amendment I would make to the recipe would be to stress tossing the cookies VERY GENTLY. I got a little overenthusiastic on the first batch and they just about dissolved in the bag. The fiance and I will definitely be nibbling those crumbs while we watch our movie tonight, but heads up for anyone else making these. Sweet goodness, I just made these today and oh my God.

Making them right now, but I used lemons instead - I LOVE lemony tart treats! Everything you post looks so delicious, and since I found this website about 3 days ago I've visited too many times to count! Something that would be fun to look up are "Rosquillas de Alcalá". I could only find them in Madrid when I went to Spain, but they are the most delicious little flaky, sweet treats. I would forever hail you if you were pull those things off! Love everything on here! Amazing job! Ahh! Making them right now, but I used lemons instead – I LOVE lemony tart treats!

I bet I did switch, or just used the paddle from the beginning. The whisk attachment is great for whipping cream and/or egg whites, but I don't think it's essential for beating butter until fluffy. Thanks for noting it; I will update the recipe now. Actually, a great question, not a dumb one. I bet I did switch, or just used the paddle from the beginning.

Or just mix on low with the wisk attachement?

I call for 1 3/4 cup <i>plus</i> 2 tablespoons flour in the ingredients, which is the same as 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons. 1/4 cup = 4 tablespoons; 1 cup = 16 tablespoons, etc. Hope that helps for next time.

Double checked. But, I love key limes and I am excited to try this recipe. Just measured everything out to make these cookies. 2tbs does not equal a quarter of a cup. Double checked.

It was my daughter's request for what cookies to mail to her at college. Also read the egg sandwich post while I ate my egg sandwich :-) Hi Deb,
