Lime Meltaways Cookie Recipe

Lime Meltaways - Martha Stewart

12 Tb. (1 1/2 sticks) butter - room temp.
1/3 cup powdered sugar
Grated zest of 2 limes
2 Tb. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 Tb. vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups + 2 Tb. flour
2 Tb cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt

In a bowl of electric mixer, cream butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Add lime zest, lime juice and vanilla. Beat until fluffy. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch and salt. Add to butter mixture and beat on low speed until combined.

Roll dough into two 1-1/4 " diameter logs. Wrap in parchment paper and chill at least 1 hour.

Heat oven to 350 deg.. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Slice dough into 1/8" rounds. Place on sheet 1" apart. Bake until barely golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool, 8-10 minutes. Shake cooled cookies in powdered sugar.

Note: Dough freezes well - defrost in refrigerator completely before cutting. Cookies also freeze well.

Finally got around to setting up my Google Talk account. I'm not sure how much I would use this as I don't hang out much on the computer, but I could see how it would be an inexpensive vehicle to talk with someone who is far away from you. Maybe I'll try it out more in the future.

Figuring out RSS Feeds

I subscribed to 5 websites and am looking for more. There were a few I wanted to add, but I received a message that the sites did not have a feed available :-( . Should all websites be able to be added - or only the ones with the special symbols? TTFN

This is a first!

This is my first post to my blog and to any blog ever! Technology is catching up with me. It was quite easy to set up. The hardest part is thinking up a name that is unique and something you'll remember.

I can see blogs as being useful for families - kind of a new version of an old fashioned family letter - keeping everyone in touch and up to date. They'd also be useful for co-workers who are working on a project together. The blog could be a central posting site for information.

Now I'm on to looking at other people's blogs.......
