lemon fire crisps

November 28, 2005

First - I think this group is wonderful! The

moderator/s do a great job. Other groups are not as

well monitored. I assume it's a lot of work, so ...

thank you.

OK. I tried my first recipe from the group. I don't

have a cookie press so I improvised on the Lemon Fire

Crisps. Also I am in Mexico so we have limons rather

than limes or lemons. They worked fine. Gotta think

they are a combination anyway. I baked a few at a

time doing something different for each. Finally I

decided to make small balls of 1/2 teaspoon and

refrigerate them for about 1/2 hr. It was hot in the

kitchen. Then I was able to press them down easily

into very thin 2 in. galletitas. I thought they were

wonderful! At first there was the sweet lemon/lime

taste followed by the little bit of spice. I think my

Mexican friends will like them. My husband thought

they were lovely when I gave him a plateful during a

football game just now. He had the same reaction -

first the sweet lime taste then the chile. But he

hated it! What does he know? All the more for me!

They seem too special to just sit and eat a plateful.

Those of you who have enjoyed them - when do you like

to serve them? Are they especially good with or after

a certain meal? If I had a cookie press, would they

be thicker? Are they intended to be thicker? I

noticed that they don't spread out while baking when I

just dropped small 1/2 teaspoonfuls on the cookie

sheet.

I like them very much. I would extend a personal

thank you but can't find the recipe again, I had

printed it the first time. And I'm glad I did.

I'll get around to the other recipes. They are all

mouth watering.
