"The tangy lime and mellow hazelnut flavors are a unique combination that sets these apart from other cutout cookies," writes Karen Morrell, Canby, Oregon. "After baking and cooling them, you can keep the cookies in the freezer until decorating...or bake, frost and eat the same day. They won't last long!"
