Key lime pie cookies

Dessert

15 Jul

Kristi and I have both been tossing fresh limes in our grocery carts lately because we’re on a serious dirty Diet Coke kick but now that we’re fully stocked in the lime department, we are so excited to bake Carrie’s key lime pie cookies! The fresh lime juice + zest in her cream cheese frosting sounds DI-VINE! Let’s get to her recipe stat, shall we?

Oh boy, do I have a real treat for all you key lime pie lovers!

A lot of times when I set out to develop a new recipe, I have a certain person in mind to make it for.  Over the last week as I was fine tuning this recipe, I had my dad and sisters in mind. They absolutely love key lime pie and I absolutely love to make it for them! The only problem is that I have a big family so if I make just one pie, we have to cut it into tiny slivers or somebody doesn’t get any.

 My solution to this problem is my Key Lime Pie Cookies. This recipe makes about 3 dozen cookies so now there will be enough for everybody! The cookie is actually a graham cookie made with graham flour. It tastes just like graham cracker crust in a cookie form. The frosting is made with cream cheese, powder sugar, and of course, fresh lime juice and lime zest.

Seriously, if you close your eyes as you bite into these cookies, you will think you were biting into a key lime pie. The best part is that you can have all your cookies made and frosted in less time than it would take you to make one key lime pie from start to finish. That is a total win in my book!

Graham Cookies

  • Once cookies are cool, frost them with key lime pie frosting.

Until next time,

Carrie
