    Okay, Chi_phx....I made these for the swap and oh....my....goodness! You are not kidding "melt in your mouth awesome"...wow. :) I didn't decorate, but I made half a batch and I did add the zest of one beautiful lime, and the juice from half of it, to the batter as I whipped it up. :) It added just a perfect hint of the lime flavor(we wouldn't have wanted them any sweeter, I had the lime that was begging to be used, and we LOVE citrus, so...) and the zest looks so pretty in the finished cookies. :) You can't really see it in the pic, but it's there. I even used cake flour, and I don't even OWN cake flour...I literally had to borrow it. hehehe

    cake flour has less gluten and therefore a more tender recipe!
    Great Post!
