Cornmeal Lime Cookies image

A recipe adapted from a famous, anal retentive, control freak, home making guru (she irons her sheets for goodness sake) and as such, is overly complicated yet... yields delicious results. A different kind of cookie that offers a wonderful finish to a Mexican meal/dinner party.

These cookies were a bit too lime-y for my taste, but they were still good.

I'm not usually a fan of cornmeal cookies, but these were really good! The lime flavor was subtle but it really complemented the cornmeal.
