Sweetie, this is a great cookie, lots of great flavor, I saw it as I was looking for the one you asked for..Our Sweet Limey Sugar Cookie
1) Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.

- 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 6 Tbls. butter, softened (no substitutes)
- 6 Tbls. vegetable shortening
- 1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
- 2 Tbls. light-colored corn syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 Tbls. plus 1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel, divided (about 4 limes)
2) Beat butter, shortening, and 1 cup sugar in a large mixer bowl on medium high speed until light and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in corn syrup, then egg until combined. Beat in vanilla and 3 tablespoons lime peel, scraping side of bowl until blended. At low speed, beat in flour mixture just until combined. Cover and refrigerate dough 1 hour.
3) Heat oven to 350 degree F. Mix together 2 tablespoons sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon lime peel in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
4) Spread remaining 1/3 cup sugar on a plate. Line 2 cookie sheets with foil. Fill a 1/4 cup dry measuring cup with dough. Shape dough into a ball; then roll in sugar. Place on prepared cookie sheet. With bottom of a glass, gently press top of ball into a 2 1/2-inch circle. Repeat with remaining dough and sugar, arranging 4 cookies on each cookie sheet. Bake cookies until edges begin to color, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool cookies on pan 5 minutes. Sprinkle warm cookies with lime-sugar mixture. Transfer to wire racks and cool completely. Makes 12 cookies.
You can bet the farm on it!! Hahahahahah

Decadent Chocolate Hazelnut Truffles
1) Melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler or in a heavy pot over very low heat.
2) Stir in the cream.
3) Add the sugar and hazelnuts gradually, stirring to eliminate lumps before adding more.
4) Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Form individual balls by rolling about a teaspoonful (5 ml) in between the palms of your hands. The warmth of your hands will melt the surface just enough for the covering to adhere. Roll in the covering and refrigerate. For best flavor, remove from refrigerator 2 hours before serving.
Makes about 6 oz

No I haven't, but now I will now that you say it.. Have you tried "William's Chili" mix? If it is available in your neck of the woods, it will more than cover you in a quick pinch. I have used it when visiting my daughter. She doesn't keep any fresh spices, LOLOL, but had a package of Williams.. I used it, and now keep a couple of envelopes of the stuff in my pantry, just in case.
The title takes almost as long to read as it takes to eat it!!! Hahahahahaah
1) Place vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet and add the sliced onions. Sauté over low heat, stirring often, until onions are golden brown, soft and caramelized. Do not let burn.
2) Season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir in the hot mustard. Set aside.
3) Prepare a grill, and cook sausages, basting with Oktoberfest beer every minute or so.
Serve the grilled sausages with the mustard-seasoned onions.
Santa is real in our hearts and homes, just as is the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and just as the Founding Fathers are still alive and well. Keeping the children dreaming and wide-eyed with a wonderful imagination, won't hurt them. Those are stories, vivid and fun.. I always believed in a magical world that was full of hope and dreams, and passed that on to my kids.. happy kids, very happy kids.. *<]:^)
I really wanted a new bike but never ever believed I would get one.. training wheels, a bell, a basket and all..sigh.. What a Christmas.. We used my aunt's big old washtub for going down hills, who needed a fancy sled anyway? :)
Kids and Christmas.. shortbread bells, reindeer cookies and Gingerbread men.. I can smell it now.. love is in the air..:)
