Introduction
This is a basic/easy cookie. It’s a good introduce to cookies and piping, but that’s pretty much it. If you like lime cookies it’s a nice recipe, but there’s no element that really makes it stand out. Nonetheless, a good learning experience if you want practice with lime cookies or piping.

Making and Baking The Squiggles
Tip 1: The book recommends a half-inch tip, however, you should consider using a 3/4 inch or 1 inch tip. A 1/2 inch tip doesn’t produce the same results as the book and an inspection of the example image suggests a 1-inch tipped based on the ratios present.
Tip 2: The cookies will maintain the exact shape they are piped into through the baking process.
Final Product
Key Takeaways
- This was a tasty cookie, but the instructions were a bit brief and lacking detail.
- Final Score: 2/5 – This is an okay dessert if you like lime. Otherwise, it’s average at best. There’s nothing special to set it apart.
