Directions
Georgetown Lime Cookies (Broas),This cookie comes from British Guyana. The recipe is from “The Joy of Cookies” by Sharon Tyler Herbst. You can also add 1 cup of toasted almonds or grated coconut to the dough before rolling it into balls if you wan’t something a little different. Prep time is a guess.,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!,I made these cookies and followed the recipe exactly as written. They were amazing! I’ve never had lime cookies before and wasn’t honestly surprised by how good they were. I will definitely be making them again!
