Tips
These cookies are pretty simple to make, but here are a few tips that will make the process even easier for you!
- Use a food processor – These cookies are made entirely in a food processor, so be sure you have one of these! You could most likely use a blender too, but you’ll just want to be sure that you have the ability to pulse the ingredients together.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours – You’ll be making the cookie dough into a log and then slicing the chilled dough into rounds, so making sure that the dough is extra cold will help them hold their perfectly round shape while they are baking!
- Make now, freeze for later – I like this cookie dough because you can make them now, wrap in plastic wrap and foil, and freeze for up to 1 month! When you need a quick dessert or batch of cookies to whip up, just pull them out and let stand for 20 minutes on the counter before slicing and baking.
I hope that you enjoy these key lime cookies! They’re the perfect end-of-summer treat.
