INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
    • ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🧈 ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
    • ¾ cup white sugar, divided
    • 🥚 1 large egg yolk
    • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Key Lime Elements

    • 3 medium Key limes

  • Filling

    • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

Combine flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in a bowl.

3

Cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar together in a bowl with an electric mixer. Add egg yolk and vanilla; blend until combined. Mix in dry ingredients and continue to blend until dough sticks together, 1 to 2 minutes.

4

Roll dough into 1-inch balls and roll in remaining sugar to coat. Place on the prepared baking sheets.

5

Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are lightly browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.

6

Zest all 3 limes; set zest aside. Juice 2 of the limes.

7

Beat cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in confectioners' sugar. Add lime juice and zest; mix to combine.

8

Spread filling on the flat sides of 1/2 of the cookies, then top with remaining cookies to form sandwich cookies.
