Torticas de Morón: Cuban Lime Shortbread & Secret Science! 🇨🇺💚

This week on Cookie Lab, we're taking a sunny trip to the Caribbean as Chris whips up a batch of Torticas de Morón! These classic Cuban shortbread cookies are delicate, buttery, and bursting with fresh lime flavor—the perfect bite of sunshine.

Join us as we explore the charming history of this celebrated cookie, tracing its origins in Cuba and how it became a beloved national treat. Of course, the moment of truth is next: the taste test! We’ll see if Chris successfully captured that signature melt-in-your-mouth texture and zingy citrus kick.

Then, prepare for a fascinating science lesson that will make your head spin (in a good way): The secret life of Limes! We drop the biggest science bomb of the week by discussing apomixis—how certain limes can actually reproduce without fertilization. It's botany that sounds like pure science fiction!

Tune in for the history, the taste, and the mind-blowing science of the world's most mysterious citrus fruit!
