Lime Cookie

I love sweets, especially baked goods like this delicious Lime Cookie recipe! Some people love cake, some love fudge, and then there are those people who love pie. Me? Well, everyone knows that I just absolutely love cookies! I'm a regular old cookie monster, except I don't waste any crumbs when I eat my cookies!

While there are some store-bought cookies that are pretty good, I have always preferred homemade, and I've spent a lot of time experimenting with different recipes.

You can use bottled lime juice or fresh in this lime soft cookies recipe, whatever floats your boat!

What Is the Best Lime for These Cookies?

Our neighbor has a key lime tree that used to hang over into our yard, but after putting up a new wooden fence, it's been trimmed back...I seriously can not wait for it to regrow so that I can grab a few key limes!

When I saw that the fence guys had trimmed the limbs that hung over into our yard, I was so upset. I've been helping myself to those key limes for years!

I can't wait to try this recipe again with key lime juice...

You could also use lemon juice or even Meyer lemon juice. Yum, right?

I know that many people still like to print out recipes and keep them in a recipe binder, or simply have the printed recipe sitting in front of them when it comes time to cook! 

Sometimes it is just easier to go off a recipe when it is printed right in front of you. Who wants to swipe their screen on their phone or tablet when their hands are greasy? So I love offering this option as well!

For an extra special treat, you can whip up a batch of strawberry key limeade slushies to serve alongside this lime soft cookies recipe. It would make for the perfect snack on a warm spring day!
