Frequently Asked Questions About Gluten Free Key Lime Cookies
Yes, regular limes work just fine! I actually cannot find key limes in my grocery store so I just use regular limes.
Try to use fresh lime juice if a recipe calls for it (whenever possible), as the flavor of fresh lime juice is much brighter and more intense than the bottled variety. If all you can get is bottled then you can use that.
Yes, freeze in an airtight container they will keep for up to 6 months.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 7-10 days.

Thank you!
Took these to work and they were a huge hit! The consistency is perfect & flavor is on pointe. I don’t do much baking so I am far from an expert. Not only were they absolutely delicious, they were pretty easy to make too! Thanks for the recipe ❤
Yay! This makes me so happy!
Keto friendly with monk fruit alternatives.
I used the juice of all of one regular lime and finely shredded coconut for an awesome macaroon type result.
