Finally got around to making the lime beltways--great cookie-thanks Marilyn for leading me to it.

You're welcome. I've wondered how it compares to mistral's lime cookies with citric acid.
Took me FOREVER to find a little bottle of lime oil. I found some immediately in a health food store and then found out that it's for aromatherapy and not necessarily for ingestion. Then I found the itsy bitsy bottle of the edible stuff at a cake supply store.
Then I found out that the citric acid needed to be powdered and I had liquid. So that took another search. I still have the stuff...just haven't made them.

This is where I got the sour salt first, in the kosher section of a large supermarket chain here. .
Before you buy at, say, King Arthur, check online for citric acid; it is sold at many places, and you can get it at a better price, but make sure you are getting the fine stuff as this is best for cooking uses. It will keep forever in a glass jar. I also keep some in the bathroom to take care of hard-water deposits in the toilet!

mistral, I found some granular citric acid from my Israel trip. Is that the right stuff?
It's pretty fine...looks like caster sugar.
{PS: I bought it simply because it was the largest spice bag in the grocery store spice section so I figured it must be used for a lot of things. I just never bothered to find out what.}
