This isn't the first use of the KitchenAid - but I the 1st recipe that I actually took pictures. Please bear with me as I hope my photography skills improve.
Who doesn't love a margarita? I know I am always down for a little tequila. I found this recipe at
Smitten Kitchen - one of my new favorite kitchen blogs. Deb lives in Manhattan, NY and is an inspiration because she makes wonderful, gourmet food from a tiny kitchen. She also has some great tips on maximizing the most space in your tiny kitchen - something I have trouble doing.
So, this is her recipe for Margarita Cookies. I won't post the entire recipe - but here is a link:

Here are my photos from the recipe journey!

| Check out all that lime and orange zest! |

| Rolled in sugar & salt, Cut into cookies using my bench scraper |

| Try not to eat too much dough |

| Cooling off before I gobble them down |
The recipe states it makes about 50 cookies. I got around 62 because some of my sizes were off. A helpful hint: Roll the dough into 4 logs instead of 2 to get equal width. If you make the recipe, you'll know what I'm talking about.
ENJOY!
Great job on the blog! I bet the cookies are really good.
