lime zest cookies

Sunday morning rain is falling..

fortunately that lyrics from Maroon 5's Sunday Morning didn't happen this morning. haha. cause if it did so, maybe i wouldn't be able to take any pictures of my lime zest cookies. yeaa, you know, i still can't do my best on measuring and set a perfect aperture or shutter for daddy's DSLR on cloudy/rainy day especially indoor. i'm far too bad to be compared with him on taking pictures. hoho. as what i've mentioned above, today i made lime zest cookies. sorry to say, but it tastes usual for me even though sometimes i feel it has a cute taste. or maybe it's because my tongue seems like having a sore or sariawan in Indonesian. hahaha. but anyway, this is a unique recipe to try. i got it from 'Kraft KejuMoo Recipe Book' which is free to have if you buy 2 packs of Kraft Cheddar Cheese and Kraft Quick Melt.  okayyy, this is the recipe:

5. Spoon the batter and shaped it into balls by using 2 teaspoons. to make a pattern, press it with fork.

i did modify this recipe a little bit. i didn't use castor sugar but i used granulated sugar, i used kenari (hey, what's the english of it? anybody knows? hehe.) instead of cashew. hehe. you know? when i took those pictures i felt like it's christmas already. i just love the mood of christmas, always have.. hoho. anyhow, just try the recipe, hope you'll like it.. :)
