Key Lime Cookies: Tender, tangy key lime cookies that will absolutely melt in your mouth! These are light, buttery tea cookies bursting with citrus flavor. Perfect for Spring!

This last week it has been bitterly cold here…which I know to those of you in the Northern parts of the states that statement is laughable…

But it has been and I have been desperately needing an escape from the wet nasty weather. Except travel to some place tropical and exotic isn’t exactly do-able at the moment…and well for a couple more months an amazing margarita is off the table.

So the next best thing? Melt in your mouth key lime cookies…they are sinfully good!

The secret to making this cookie a-mah-zing is using freshly squeezed lime juice.

It does take a bit of finesses to get the milk and lime mixture correct, but I promise you it isn’t difficult at all!

These cookies are bound to become a family favorite! I can promise ya that 😉

A perfect no fail dessert!

These Key Lime Cookies are so good you will be saying, dessert now dinner later!
