Key Lime Cookies

 

I have been feeling the cookie urge as of late and wanting anything with bright and fresh summer tastes.  You know what's better than a cookie though...an easy 4 ingredient cookie!

I recently had my monthly meal train dinner assignment date.  For dessert, I wanted to bring something light and flavorful.  These crunchy, tart, and sweet pieces of yumminess completed my goal perfectly!

I did a taste test with them before the glaze and they were really good.  However, drizzle that lime sweetness and it's a whole new level of delicacy.

Key Lime Cookies

Cookie:

1 box, butter golden cake mix (do not prepare cake instructions - using the dry mix only)

2 eggs, room temperature

1/3 cup canola oil

zest of 1 lime

Glaze:

1 tsp lime juice, freshly squeezed

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tsp whole milk

zest of 1 lime

Preheat oven 350 degrees.

Mix the cookie ingredients together until well combined.  Do not overmix.

Cover the mixing bowl with dough with plastic wrap.  Chill for 10 minutes.

Use small dough scoop and place cookie dough balls onto parchment lined baking sheets.

Bake for 7-9 minutes or until you start to see cracks on top of cookies.

Let cool on baking tray for 15 minutes.

While cookies are baking, whisk together the lime juice, powdered sugar, milk, and lime zest until well combined.

Drizzle icing with a spoon over cooled cookies.
