I picked some fresh limes this morning and came across this recipe while searching for a way to use them. This recipe is a nice twist on a plain sugar cookie. The cookie itself is soft the inside with a nice, crispy exterior; however, it doesn't have the big wow factor that a more decadent chocolate cookie has. For those who aren't looking for decadence and don't happen to like chocolate, this is a more-than-satisfacory alternative. As other reviewers suggested I cut back a little on the sugar, and I'm glad I did. The lime used was huge, so I also amped up the lime flavor by adding a fourth tablespoon of fresh lime juice, which was another favorable modification. In all honesty, I probably won't make this again simply because I love chocolate too much!
