Delicious and refreshing Key Lime Cookies! Bursting with lime flavor and topped with a lime glaze that is to die for.
You will also love these citrus desserts: Keto Key Lime Pie and Keto Lemon Bars, of course these healthy key lime cookies are my favorite right now! This recipe has an added bonus of only needing ONE bowl, you guys know how much I love an easy clean up, especially when I am testing out multiple recipes in one day. All I had to do was toss one bowl in the dishwasher, yay! I honestly can’t get enough of these refreshing cookies, they totally hit the spot on a hot summers day, but I could also see myself enjoying these in the dead of winter when I need some more citrus and summer in my life – which is always. Lime Cookies are so light and fluffy they are the perfect dessert or treat.

Yes, regular limes work just fine! I actually cannot find key limes in my grocery store so I just use regular limes.
