    Claire Saffitz is here to close out Cookie Week with her Minty Lime Bars, which are for the true citrus fans. And while yes, it’s technically a bar and not a cookie in the traditional sense, Claire believes that it belongs on any holiday cookie spread. “There’s something that’s very wintertime about this but also really cheering in its tangy butteriness.”
    And here’s the entire 24 Days of Cookies, sure to make your holidays bright: nyti.ms/3Eq9TyQ

    Yesss, so happy to see Claire featured on this channel again, it's been a while! This recipe is one of my favorites from her book and recommended to every citrus lover out there as it is absolutely delicious.

      Since you tried it, I have a question: I am a big citrus fan, but I am not the biggest fun of mint. I like it if it pairs well with the rest of ingredients though! Is it very punchy minty? Does it pair up well with the other flavours? Also, how sour does the bar turn out?

    • @MD-bn1eh
      @MD-bn1eh 2 роки тому +10

      @@blueyellowpapaya I think the mint is not overpowering and complements the bars very well. When I made them it was not minty at all, just barely in the background notes of flavor. The bars themselves are quite sour, but not as sour as sour candy; more like just lemon bar level of sour. I found it very enjoyable, along with every other recipe in her book.

      I think basil pairs well with lime. Basil works pretty well in dessert to me. Maybe sub the mint for basil and see how it works for you.

    I’ve made these twice now and they’re so addictive! You can really taste the mint in the shortbread, and the lime is so so delectable. Super cheery in light of darker days around this time of year.
    8:18 Just came to the part of the video which explains why I had to make it twice, totally totally forgot to turn the oven down the first time 😬 Managed to salvage the first attempt! But the second try was much better 😋

    Having these videos of Dessert Person as a visual backup is so great as opposed to only a written recipe. I made these bars months ago and ended up with little pieces of butter in the lime curd which kinda put me off from eating them again. I now recognize my error (8:37. My curd was cooled completely which prevented the butter from melting). Definitely will try them again!

    Just made these and they started to brown WAY before they set. When they looked visually identical to when hers were done, they were super wobbly. They never got to the "set but wobbly stage" and eventually I just took them out because they started browing like crazy on the edges. Maube because I used a darker pan?
