Recipe Description

This is such a fantastic and delicious cookie recipe – tasty Lemon and Lime Cookie Crisps! These sweet treats are light and fluffy on the inside but they are crispy on the bottom when you bite into them. Each cookie has a tangy burst of refreshing citrus flavor when you bite into it.

To make these cookies, start by making cookie dough infused with lemon and lime juice and zest for a citrus zing. This cookie dough is very soft sso I recommend using an ice cream scoop to shape into cookies. To serve, drizzle with icing and sprinkle with lime zest. Enjoy!
