Tips for Making Key Lime Pie Sandwich Cookies:

  • Use fresh key limes: Fresh key limes provide the best flavor for these cookies. If you can't find key limes, you can use regular limes, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when they come out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Use a good quality key lime pie filling: The key lime pie filling is the star of these cookies, so make sure to use a good quality filling. You can make your own filling or use a store-bought filling.
  • Chill the cookies before serving: Chilling the cookies for at least 30 minutes before serving will help the filling set and make the cookies easier to handle.
