Key Lime Pie Cookies

Key Lime Pie Cookies with key lime juice, fresh lime zest, and graham cracker crumbs in a soft-baked cookie with a white chocolate glaze. 

These key lime pie cookies are the perfect summertime cookie. A soft-baked cookie with fresh lime zest, key lime juice, and graham cracker crumbs to resemble the taste of the crust in a classic key lime pie. 

Key lime desserts are some of my very favorite like this key lime pie with a homemade graham cracker crust and this key lime cheesecake. If you want a no bake recipe then be sure and make this no bake key lime pie. It’s so easy to make with a store-bought graham cracker crust. 

HOW TO MAKE KEY LIME PIE COOKIES

• Salted Butter
• Granulated Sugar
• Large Egg
• Vanilla Extract
• Key Lime Juice
• Lime Zest
• Baking Soda & Salt
• All-Purpose Flour
• Graham Cracker Crumbs
• White Chocolate Baking Bar

Beat softened butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl for 1-2 minuets. At first this mixture will look crumbly and fluffy, but as you beat it more it will come together and be creamy.

Add the egg, vanilla extract, key lime juice, and fresh lime zest. Beat until combined. 

The final step is to add the dry ingredients; baking soda and salt, flour, and graham crackers. Mix on low speed until it’s combined. 

Roll the dough into about 1-inch sized balls and place on a cookie sheet. 

The best part about these key lime pie cookies is the simple white chocolate glaze on top. Of course you can leave it off if you prefer but it adds a nice sweetness to the cookies and it makes them look so pretty too!
