Spring is officially here and I am in full swing gardening mode!  I simply love being outside on spring days in the Carolinas and there is nothing more refreshing than Lemons and Limes.  I love to drink lemon infused water on these gorgeous 70 degree days.  The most perfect companion to a glass of chilled lemon water is a scrumptious Key Lime Cookie!  I adapted my popular Pink Lemonade Cookies recipe that I created to make a Key Lime Cookie concoction. I guess maybe the Pink Lemonade party we featured a couple weeks ago inspired me to go citrus!

(These would be perfect at a Citrus Party or a Lemonade Party, right!? Or Maybe to sell at a Lemonade Stand?  I love watching my kids be little entrepreneurs!)

These cookies have the BEST texture with the perfect flavor combination – Soft, creamy, rich, tart and sweet and then finished off with a little crunch from the graham cracker crumb topping.

One of the best parts of key lime pie is the graham cracker crust, so I had to incorporate graham crackers somehow.  I couldn’t’ figure out how to add them into the dough without ruining it so I tried this.  I got the inspiration from those black and white cookies you see at Starbucks.  You may have seen some of my trials on Instagram? (Are you following me? I’d love to follow you!  Leave me your name in the comments)
