which_chickI've talked about Sand Tarts before as one of my very favorite holiday cookies. Because I've been smitten with limes since the onset of guacamole season, I took it upon myself to make sand tarts with grated lime peel instead of with grated lemon peel. That was an educational experience.
1. Grated lime peel is a very intriguing flavoring agent that creates a complex, flavorful cookie. People who know me IRL will probably get to see the lime-flavored ones in action at some future point in time, probably a point in time with much lower humidity.
2. Making thin, crisp butter cookies when the fucking humidity is through the roof is a bad idea because the damn humidity makes the carefully browned, thin-enough-to-see-through, crisp-enough-to-shatter butter cookies SOGGY in like half an hour. It's a tragedy to make the angels weep, I tell you.
