    Cornmeal Lime Cookies

    While searching for some new cookies to try this holiday, I decided to mix it up a bit and make something without nuts. These are not one of those over the top cookies but they are bursting with flavor and are perfect if you don’t want something quite so sweet. It’s rare to find a cookie without nuts or chocolate. The green from the lime zest makes these festive and a nice addition to the more traditional holiday cookies.
