For the best flavor, use freshly grated nutmeg. Ensure your butter is properly softened for a smooth and creamy dough. Do not overmix the dough once you add the flour, as this can result in tough cookies. For a more intense lime flavor, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of lime zest. These cookies freeze well. Store baked cookies in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
