Lime meltaways from Martha Stewart's Cookies: The Very Best Treats to Bake and to Share (page 121) by Martha Stewart Living

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    p. 121 Fabulous! I found these while nosing around on the www in search of baking books. In my travels I came across a video of Martha making these cookies and I was smitten. They’re quick and easy to prepare and they taste fabulous! The dough is extremely easy to work with and I loved Martha’s tip of using a ruler w the parchment to round out the dough. Essentially this is a slice and bake shortbread but w less sugar in the dough itself. The dusting of icing sugar is a perfect counterpoint to the tartness of the lime juice and zest in the cookie itself. NB that the book has you use the paddle attachment but the video suggests the whisk. I went with the latter and was very pleased w the results. I typically reserve the whisk for eggs so this was a small revelation for me. Photos here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/884276#7824250

Reviews about this recipe

  • Two Peas and Their Pod

    Sometimes Martha’s recipes annoy me because I think she tries on purpose to make things difficult. But not this one, the recipe was easy breezy! There were few ingredients and they were all basic.

  • I Made That!

    The generous amounts of lime peel make it a beautiful dough. After baking, they get rolled a few times in powdered sugar which will sweeten them up and help them melt in your mouth.

    Though I am usually not a fan of ice box cookies...I do love these. A light crisp cookie with the bright flavor of fresh lime that first crumbles and then melts in your mouth.
