Key Lime Cookies

With spring in the air, there’s nothing quite like citrus desserts in your mouth. Lemon meringue pie, lemon bars, orange smoothies, and key lime pie! This time, I’ve taken key lime cake mix from Pillsbury and turned it into frosted key lime cookies. Since they were still a little tart for me, I slathered some vanilla marshmallow frosting on top.

Didn’t these cookies turn out beautiful? Best part about it is that you only need four ingredients (and that’s including the frosting)! I could see them on the table next to your BBQ dish or on a plate outside for guests at a pool party. If you want them to be a more vibrant green, you could always add a couple drops of green food coloring into your batter. That’ll really make these cookies pop.

I just so happened to have some lime green sprinkles in my pantry so I sprinkled some on top of that gorgeous fluff. I didn’t even use anything special to frost the cookies. It’s simply done with a spoon! Can you believe it? Just scoop out the frosting, plop it on your cooled cookie, then use the backside of the spoon to swirl in a circular motion.

Pillsbury also has key lime frosting  (which I was originally intending to use on top of the cookies), but after I tasted the cookies out of the oven, I changed my mind. If you’re a fan of a strong key lime flavor, though, I’d recommend going for the key lime on key lime!

These cookies are as fluffy as can be, tart, and fairly light. My DH loved them.

Be careful with over-baking them!
