Key Lime Cookies

A family tradition of my family while we are all up at the lake house in Upstate New York is Lobster Fest. My uncle who lives in Boston brings up a ton of lobsters and we invite some family friends over to cook them outside and to eat them. Every year, I make a fun recipe for dessert and this year, I made Key Lime Cookies. My family loves Key Lime Pie and when I came across the pin on Pinterest (follow me here), I knew it would be perfect since it is a easy-to-serve version of the classic pie. And y'all these cookies did not disappoint and are so yummy!

Ingredients:

all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, butter, sugar, brown sugar, an egg, vanilla, 3 limes, lime juice, white chocolate chips, powdered sugar

Cookies

1. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl

2. Cream the butter and sugars

3. Beat in the egg, vanilla, lime zest, and lime juice until smooth

4. Add white chocolate chips and mix with a spoon

5. Drop rounded spoonfuls onto a parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheet

6. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes or until golden brown on the edges

7. Cool on cookie sheets for a few minutes

8. Transfer onto a rack to cool completely

9. Place a sheet of parchment paper under the rack (to catch any drips from the glaze)

Glaze

2. Add lime juice until desired consistency

3. Spoon glaze over the cookies and let dry
