If you love Key lime pie, you’re going to adore these Key lime pie cookies! They’re soft, buttery graham cracker cookies filled with a creamy, tangy lime filling that tastes just like the real pie — but in handheld cookie form. The cookie base is made with crushed graham crackers, giving it that nostalgic, buttery crust flavour, while a hint of lime zest adds a refreshing citrus twist. The cookie is then filled with a luscious key lime mixture made from cream cheese, fresh lime juice, lime zest, and sweetened condensed milk. The result is a soft, chewy cookie with a rich, zesty center.
