About
These cookies are magical. They may not make you fly (although you'll be light on your feet after eating them) but you can taste the enchantment from the start. Meltaways literally melt in your mouth, as the rich, buttery, ethereally-sweet cookie casts a spell on your tastebuds. Each bite also has the tropical sunniness and pleasing sharpness of lime flavor and a dusting of powdered sugar. Mmmm, before you know it, you'll be melting over Meltaways yourself.
