These cookies are really tasty and different! The lime definitely comes through, and the nutmeg melds nicely with the lime. Do cook them until the edges are just beginning to brown - otherwise they're a little too soft.

These cookies were a great find. My husband is allergic to wheat, gluten, eggs, and diary. The only changes I made were using gluten free flour (same amount) and unsalted margarine. There were no eggs to worry about so this recipe is a keeper, so good and fresh tasting with the lime.

What a great alternative to the usual types of cookies we make! I came upon this recipe while looking for something to use up the limes in my fridge. I love non-traditional ingredient pairings so I decided to try it out. The only change I had to make was because I didn't have butter so I had to use margarine but they still tasted fantastic. They turned out perfectly! They have a sweetness from being rolled in sugar but a tangy bite from the ginger and lime. I am DEFINITELY making these over and over again! I served them to my extended family and they asked how I got them perfectly chewy but not too doughy. Others who commented noted that the cookies turned out hard so I took mine out early becaues cookies still bake inside for a little bit once you've taken them out of the oven. Don't hesitate to try this one!

I like these, not too sweet and a little unexpected. I think I'll add a pinch more nutmeg next time. I don't think most kids would like these... or picky adults :o) but they are really good!

The acidity from the lime was a bit much. Tasted better warm. Won't make again.

LOVED these cookies! Like another reviewer, I am not a huge fan of nutmeg. However, it was perfect in this recipe. I don't think it would have been right without it. Great with a cup of tea!

Thought these cookies were great! Made the house smell like Christmas. After reading reviews about the crispness of these I added 1 egg yolk into the butter and sugar mixture and baked at a little less than 350 degrees for 13-15min. Turned out nice and soft in the middle and the perfect firmness on the outside!
