These cookies are really good and really easy. They are very refreshing! I didn't use the frosting though. I just mixed powder sugar and lime juice to make a glaze. I also omitted the nuts because I didn't have any on hand. I didn't miss them at all, but they might add a nice crunch. Overall the cookies are delicious!
