Blend in the flour thoroughly (dough will be rather stiff). If using macadamia nuts, incorporate now. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a greased or parchment lined baking sheet.

Allow cookies to cool completely on wire rack, then coat with sugar again.

KEY LIME COOLERS

These tangy cookies are a favorite of mine. Light and tangy. Great when served with Sherbet as a light, company pleasing dessert. A little green coloring may be added but don't get them too green ! They pack well and look great on a cookie tray. Something different and not heavy or too rich. Pretty to look at too !

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh key limes. If you can't find key limes, you can substitute regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • To make the coolers ahead of time, simply mix all of the ingredients except the sparkling water and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. When you're ready to serve, add the sparkling water and stir.
  • Garnish the coolers with lime slices or wedges, and serve with straws.
  • For a non-alcoholic version of the coolers, omit the rum.
  • If you want to make a larger batch of coolers, simply double or triple the recipe.

These key lime coolers are the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. They're also a great way to use up any extra key limes you may have on hand. With their refreshing flavor and beautiful presentation, these coolers are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
