She asked me for a “big” favor since she was stuck without a car for a few hours. “I need flour” aunt Lois said, “I’m experimenting with my lemon cookies.” My great grandmother- nanny-  was the pioneer of this family recipe. Aunt Lois was the one to grab hold of that recipe after her passing, so she could continue making them for what is now over thirty years. She told me she wanted to “experiment” in her “test kitchen” to see what the lemon cookies tasted like, by replacing the lemon with lime and orange zest. I was delighted to observe the making of these cookies, watching them transform into something slightly different than before. I was happy to receive a small baggie of zesty confections later that day! The results of her attempt to change up the flavor profile of the recipe came out as lime being our favorite. So does that mean lime is her new signature cookie?

    Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this blog.
    It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability
